worst belly rot... what do i do?

[Black_Shark]

Please DON'T post pictures. I'd rather not see the damage...
The snake was your responsibility and they don't develop horrible scale rot overnight. So the fact is you let the snake get this way, now take some responsibility and take it to a vet. No quick fix. And if you can't afford a vet then surrender it to a rescue. I'm sorry if I sound mean. But it is tough love. I've heard way too many cases of this, been involved in one case personally and My Gosh my parents can take care of my snake husbandry wise while I am away at college and they know squat about snakes. So C'mon people! Very disappointing... and unacceptable.
GL with your snake.

What right do you have to attack this person like this? You don't know his/her circumstances, whether he thought he/she could try to fix it himself, money situation, nada. He/she obviously has been attempting to help the snake and from what he/she has said, will do what it takes to make it better (an assumption on my part)

I can empathize with the frustration and anger you feel but whats done is done. He/she doesn't need a lecture from any of us about how he needs to give up his snake, etc etc. We all make mistakes and some have huge consequences. Hopefully, this mistake will turn out for the best but either way, I doubt that he/she will make it again.

/rant

He/she realized that they have an issue, they feel bad and they came here for help. So that's what we should do and what the majority of people have been doing.

Any updates?
