It would not be called a sunburn - but a snake can definitely get burned from a heat bulb - even a normal snake can - from ignorant owners. Rex has scars along most of his back from burns from a heat lamp and not being provided a hide by his first owners. He was dropped off at the pet shop where I got him and he had been given excellent care. I will have to see if I can find some old pics and get some new pics so you can see the difference.

Bottom line - while ignorance is not an excuse, if a regular BP can suffer burns with scaring so bad that there is excess scar tissue along most of his spine . . . how much worse would it have been for an albino whose skin is more sensitive?
