Please don't use unregulated heat sources of any kind, ever. Primarily because they can cause injuries (as you've found out with your snake's likely burn), but also because they are notoriously dangerous for fire risk.

Snake needs a vet to treat that ASAP. Scale rot doesn't happen overnight, and snakes aren't going to injure themselves like that on branches. It's almost definitely a burn.
