Ahh, good to hear the snake is being warmed back up and recieving vet care. Yes, who knows what conditions it was kept in prior to your owning it. The much cooler temps certainly could have lowered the snake's metabolism allowing the ailment to take hold.

Best of luck with the treatment so it can heal up soon!

Let us know how things go............
