My BP developed what I think is scale rot while a family member was keeping him for me. I had been having trouble keeping the humidity up, so I switched the substrate from cypress mulch to a combination of Eco Earth and Repti Bark which did help with the humidity but I guess too much. At first I thought the redness on his belly was just bits of the eco earth but it wouldn’t wipe off and now I am convinced it’s scale rot. I am attaching links to some pictures. I have been doing betadine soaks (10%) and applying neosporin (with no pain killers) since the 15th and I switched him to paper towel as substrate. I disinfected the whole tank, and poured boiling water on his hides and his branch. The redness on his belly looks a little bit better but his scales are starting to fall out, mainly while he is getting soaked. This is my first reptile and obviously first time dealing with scale rot so I am stressed on what to do. If it doesn’t get better in the next day or two I will have to take him to the vet but I would rather try treating it myself first, if I am able to. Does this look like scale rot? If it is, how severe does his look? Any tips on how to help him before I have to take him to the vet? I feel horrible for him.
