Scale rot or Burn? Help!
I had him on wet bedding for a few days and a heat mat with no thermostat... I don't know which and don't want to over medicate him.

Can't see the pictures at all. However, being on wet bedding is not bad as long as the bedding is clean. If it has urine, urates, and feces in it that is a recipe for disaster. I believe it would have to be longer than a few days. A unregulated heat mat is a burn waiting to happen. Hope it's not too serious.
Stay in peace and not pieces.

Regardless, unplug the heat mat until you get a thermostat to regulate the heat output.
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Initial treatment for both is basically the same - apply a weak iodine solution to the affected areas and keep the snake on a clean, dry, non-irritating substrate like paper towels.
And get that heat mat regulated!
