first ~ MOVE THE LIGHTS higher so it can't happen again!!! (iZ burned his tongue the same way right after he moved in ...!)

you need to see a vet!!! it is possibly infected by now ... either way, they can give you a prescription medication to put on it ... iZ had "silvadene" for his burns and it helped alot ... (it's an antibiotic used especially for burns) ... igs heal VERY slowly because they are cold blooded ... something like a burn shouldn't be left unseen by a vet for that long ... infections can spread very quickly and kill an ig ...

one thing that will help your ig alot while you're saving for a larger enclosure (AND afterwards!!) is to give her supervised roaming time OUTSIDE the enclosure ... let her get out and stretch and exercise and bask in a different spot ... does wonders for their attitude!
