Needs a vet fella, thats extensive. Anything you do will only be painful and delaying proper treatment.
Take everything out of the vivarium, you need it clinically clean and dry, free from substrate and everything but smooth sided hides.
I would call the vet now, it wont be cheap to get an emergency appointment but if it was me I wouldn't delay. |

Burn?? What are you using for heat?? That kind of injury looks remarkable like what I've seen of unguarded bulbs. Definitely a vet job, as soon as possible - that's ripe for infection.
Hope he gets the treatment he needs - keep us posted! |

Could be a burn,But don't really look like one.what are you keeping him in?that rub in the pic?I don't know anything in a rub that would do that.
Unless he's got stuck in a hide or something you have put in there?
!!!!! Yes vet immediately !!!!! |
