    You could treat the area with f10 ointment which is a anti bacterial anti fungal ointment, if you do just make sure it’s the one for reptiles. Also tamodine is very anti bacterial also.

    Kind of like those on her belly? Hard to get a good picture of her. She's squirmy! As usual.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...bf87df0dae.jpg

    I googles snake fart videos and this definitely what she looked and sounded like! I did NOT know they farted like that! I learned something new!

    As an antibacterial can I use diluted betadine?

    I agree with the question about her shedding. It has the look of a patch of skin that may have been left and gotten stained darker by the cocohusk tanins.
    It doesn't really look like an irritated area or wound from the photos. Of course that can change over time.

    That appears to be part of her colour morph, scale rot is usualy a rather significant brown color

    Thank everyone for your input and advice! I'm going to keep an eye on her for the week and see how she does!

    Update on Kubira! She just finished a rough shed. I had to give her a soak and some tlc to get all ofnthe shed off. But the discolored spot is gone and she's doing great! She just ate like normal. I'll post an update photo Thursday when i weigh her after she is done digesting! Thank you all for your advice and help! You definitely helped calm down my first time BP owner panic!
