    Weird discolor spot on ball python...could it be scale rot

    Is a male spinner @ 887grams
    no scales around the spot are damage or falling
    is also in shed and will buy iodine solution just in case
    just bought him today guy said he had bad shed last time and was kept in rack system,eat live, keep good temps 90F.
    could it be a burn scar or roddent attack.
    Thanks

    I think the usual first response is - pictures? Not that I could tell you, myself, but others with more knowledge will almost certainly need them to render an opinion.

    That doesn't look like scale rot at all. It is actually quiet common for spiders to have yellow in their patterns. This is probably just the spider part of the spinner morph making it yellow. Nothing to worry about. And if you see, it doesn't seem to be the only darker spot on that BP.

    That looks like the pinstripe influence coming in stronger at that one part that's what I think personally kind of like how paradoxing is but not paradox
