treating belly/scale rot

[ADEE]

they were never really wet, they were brown (now red when due to get more neosporin added) and lifted only in a few places. As soon as I wash his body, dry him off and reapply meds it looks 100xs better for several hours-the next day. The paper towels are getting kinda greasy from the neosporin as is the walls of the enclosure.

I would think that changing the paper towels every day would lower the risk of infection to the area... Thats the whole point of cleaning the snake every day so why not clean what the snake is laying in?

Hey guys have a 80g bp with a small would on its tail end about 4 weeks ago and a spot on its head as well (rubbing against tub fin by the handle) so after i cleared those up I was bathing her in betadine and warm water every other night. seemed to all clear up. Just today I noticed at the tail end and a few other scales on the belly she has some brown edges (like scale rot) so I am going back to beta-bathing and was thinking about using a topical ointment on her belly. All I have at the moment is a Tripple-anti (Bacitracin-Neomycin-Polymyxin B) I know the first two components are ok, how about the polymyxin b ?

Safe to use sparingly?
