    Theres many different ways most common I find are dirty living quarters a.k.a living in there own poop/pee, substrate isn't being changed, tanks not cleaned out properly etc., and enclosures that are damp/wet.

    I tried taking a picture but he is just to small and my camera will not zoom that close :evil:. I guess I will just keep applying antibiotic and watch how he is doing.

    I always keep their cages very clean and his humidity has never been too high. What should I do about scale rot?

    Ya thats just the only thing to do since its in the beginning stage and it sounds like scale rot it wouldn't hurt to give the enclosure a good ol' cleaning just to make sure, and I'm talkin' throughy cleaning everything braches, hides, water dish, everything. That would also be a good start. Other than that just keep a close eye on him so it doesn't spred out or anything and keep on the antibiotics but also give it some room to breath.

    Yeah he is almost OCD about the cleaning the cages clean. Is there any other way to get scalerot?

    I will definetly do that then. Man that sucks are kings more prone than Boids? I have never had any problems with Bob.

    The only other one I can think of right now is to much moisture in the enclosure. But there are other causes. I'll research them.

    I find that colubrids are messier than Boids. However it really depends on the person keeping the snake cause its usually unsanitary conditions not that I'm saying you don't care for yor snakes or anything its just sometimes these things just happen.
