It looks like he can get really close to the heat lamp with those branches.

You need to lower them and ideally have a basking branch which is horizontal and about 6-8" from the top of the screen to stop him getting burned.

You saying those are burn marks ? Ok will do thanks
 
Those to branches were added today so I don't think he was burnt for the lamp he hasn't slept under the heater before
 
Definitely not a burn! Those are scratches or remnants of a bite or claw marks. At some point she was probably caged with other clutch mates and got them. At this point they are well healed and will disappear over time.
