Yo Steve, Wait until she sheds to go back to the vet.. See what it looks like then.. Just Saying.

Exactly what I was going to do.:gj:
If it doesn't look any better after the shed, she'll go in.

that's what mine are going to the vet for tomorrow. :( im there with ya!

Wow; poor snake. I don't know enough about CBlindness to chime in on that.. but it is unfortunate that she is sick :(

oh that sux! I feel sorry for you I saw a little of that on my bp. Just one or two scales. Does it spread? hopefully not from what I have seen on mine it hasn't yet.

sometimes heat burns or the pink belly shed can look like scale rot. as long as your snake isn't sitting in water or on damp spots a lot, she/he should be fine. you can talk to your vet if you are concerned, betadine in a certain dilution can clear it up easily and can be bought at most drug stores. However, I'd talk to the vet first. sometimes the belly scales will change colors during a shed or injury that isn't related to scale rot- if it is gone within a week it's not scale rot.
