hi.my bp (monty) has got a problem on his belly scales.i've posted some pics.i'm hoping someone on here could tell me what's wong with him.basically he's got some horrible brown marks towards the back ed of on his belly scales.these brown marks scrape of him easily then the scales bleed instantly.i've been soaking him in warm water etc.he's just stopped feeding too.hopefully someone will know what this is.

Oooo looks like some scale rot there.

WOAH...

Amy is right.

That is scale rot, and bad at that.

VET NOW!

That looks bad
I would take it to the vet as soon as possible!

Hi,

Is it the same animal from this thread or a different one?

Vet .. Now Go!

That happened to the first snake I ever owned and it was caused by a UTH that wasnt on a thermostat and the snake also burrowed slightly and was right on top of the glass....

yes it's the same bp.he had sceptecemia before.i have wondered if the new problem is connected with that.any advice? i have heard anti-sceptic creme can help scale rot,but not too sure

Go To A Vet....

It Is Not Scale Rot Externally.

It Is An Internal Problem That Will Kill Your Animal If Not Treated Properly.

By the way,

NOW!!!!

It is connected with the septicemia... It has gotten MUCH worse..

GO

NOW

GO

OMG that looks NASTY! Hopefully you are either at the vet now or have already been there!

I'm curious, how long did it take to get to this point? I guess I'm just curious how long it takes scale rot to develop.

I make it a point to check my BP over each and every time I get her out of the tank which may only be once every few days. If this kind of problem can occur quickly, would it be wise to take them out more often?

I wish you the best with your BP! I hope the vet can treat it. It hurts ME to see that! OUCH!

UPDATED took my bp,monty,to a vet yesterday in which he confirmed it's scale rot.i have been given baytril to give monty orally once a day.i was also given pevidine scrub which i apply twice a day.was also told applying vaseline was an option.i've got another appointment next tuesday.is there anything else i can do in the meantime?
