Bruising?

[Outtagetme069]

Ok so my snake shed and afterwards I noticed her belly isn't white anymore it's got like purple spots underneath the skin. I ran my fingers against it checking for loose scales and smelled her to check for any odor caused by scale rot. I took her to the vet and he said she looks fine and to just out of precaution put neosporin on the area which I did but the purple coloring is still there. Does anyone have any idea what this is from? The vet said it could have been from a rough shed but I never heard of that and she shed complete as the humidity was spot on.

Pictures would help greatly in this situation. Snakes can for sure bruise for sure, but I would have to see it.

It looked almost like a burn when I viewed the image full-size but it was pretty grainy.

What are you using for heat and how is it regulated?

[Outtagetme069]

Using heat lamps 25 watt mini halogen from Zilla. And the temps never go above 90 when I use a temp gun on the substrate/decor

It could be scale rot. Do you constantly keep the substrate moist?

[Outtagetme069]

Only when going into shed she spends 90% of her time in her hides and I do not mist in or under them. What should I do if it is scalerot to treat it? I rubbed neosporin on the area already yesterday should I continue with that?

If its scale rot, you could start giving her antiseptic soaks, 2-3 times a week, And get some chlorhexidine solution for him aswell (sames stuff dentists use for mouth cleaning) Can spray on enclosure aswell to clean/kill bacteria

Do you use newspaper as substrate? If so it appears to be ink stains.
