does my snake have scale rot he shed on thanksgiving and i was handling him i noticed that on his mid body he had almost looks like lil air bubble in a Lil area is that shed??
or should i do something i checked hid belly its pearl white with a Lil bit bit of black specs on one part and he looks kind of dull first couple of days after he shed he was really bright

Could you maybe take a picture? I haven't heard of that before.

Are the black speckles just the snakes pattern or are they new?

yes i think we need a picture to understand what you are talking about

OK they look like clear scales with no color only in the middle and towards the tail on his black mark looks like right on the like faded light brown he dint have a bad shed the shed was perfect not broken or any thing i cant take pics =/

should i do something or wait it out to se if the belly starts to get pink/yellow right now its pearl white

its my first snake so i mite be paranoid iv had him for about 2 months
so far iv thought he was hydrated had a pooping problem r.i and now scale rot
he dint have Ir waste of money on vet when he shed he pooped and i caught him drinking water so so far iv Ben wrong 3/3 times

unless you see scales begin browning I don't think there isa concern for scale rot. If the snake isn't sitting in its own waste or stting in water all the time then there is no reason for it to get scale rot.

thank you Kaorte UV Ben a great help he docent sit in his poop lol or in water bowl thank you i do need help feeding he always eats buy hes almost 2 feet im still feeding rat pups i don't thinks hes ready for a mice where i live they only sell frozen pinkys n pups mice are live

Hi,

Without pics this is really only going to be a guessing game. :(

Does it look different than the rest of the scales round about it?

What are you using as a substrate - and how damp is it.

Does it look anything like the pictures in this thread?

Or like this?
