Re: Concerned owner
Are you sure that isn't some substrate that got under his scales?

Re: Concerned owner
The brown bits look like scale coloration to me when I zoom in. Pink tummy can mean going into shed soon.

Re: Concerned owner
Cant be sure about the coloring but 2 months not cleaning a enclosure is breeding bacteria when you have humidity & wood and possible piss... Looks kinda like its between scales on some. Im no vet and can only see so much. Hopefully it isn't a bacteria under the scales (scale rot) since you found water under the Chips.
Its good you put the paper towel down so keep a eye on it and maybe shedding being close is the cause for not eating. Mine go off for 3 weeks until process is finished.

Re: Concerned owner
I've been keeping an eye on him and so far every patch has vanished after 24 hours although it seems to be stabilising somewhat. Taking him to an exotic vet in about 8 hours just in case though as I haven't been able to get a day off till then.

Re: Concerned owner
It seems that my royal has a slight infection of some sort. The vet prescribed a two week course of antibiotics so with any luck it will be sorted by then.

It looks like he's going into shed, and the ReptiChip may have stained his belly (where the brownish spots are), I hear ReptiChip (or Grow!t, or both) stain easily in damp conditions. Doesn't look like an infection to me, though. As far as the dark black spots, it's possible it's just substrate, I see that occasionally in my snakes on EcoEarth, but it usually gets cleaned out on its own. Considering they went away on their own, I'm willing to bet that's what happened here.

It's hard to tell by the single picture but if you have a puddle of water under your substrate this COULD be the start of some minor scale rot....I'd be willing to be that's what you're dealing with considering the standing water. You should be actively monitoring your humidity. If you have standing water in your enclosure that probably means your humidity levels are off the charts, which is not a good thing. As CALM says....it's also a recipe for bacteria. Warm conditions + standing, stagnant water = every bacteria known to man
It helps us greatly to post temps in Fahrenheit however as most of us are from the US and would prefer not to have to go back to Google for a conversion.
