    Could it be a healing wound? It's really hard to tell from those pictures either way to be honest.

    Scale rot is most commonly found on the snake belly because of moist and dirty conditions.

    I don't see rot but the pics could use some more light to really see what's going on.

    In one of the pics it looks more like a hot spot from the snake trying to fit somewhere it can't or rubbing against something. But that could just be the pic. Better brighter pics would help but I don't think it's rot.
