your bottom quote says "your are only young once" shouldn't it be "you are only young once" or is that like part of the joke? other then that this looks like a nasty nasty burn... I would look up what creams are okay for reptile burns. As for a vet visit if you find out it is for sure a burn, I would find good cream and not go to the vet and spend 500 dollars there. jmho... vets are incredibly pricy!!!
