I'm having a few problems with my ball python, some of his scales are cracked and dry looking, and his belly has a yellow tint,
Im worried it might be scale rot. I have him on a exoterra medium rain forest heat pad with a rheostat to regulate it. His temperatures are fine,i have a probed thermometer above his bask spot. his bask averages from 90 -91, and nighttime it falls down to about 85 or slightly lower.I keep his humidity to around 50-60,*note i don't have a problem with shed, he has complete sheds*and i keep his cold side at room temperature.I am new to snakes, but i dont know how he got it, i don't keep his bedding moist, and i spot clean regularly,his substrate is zoo med aspen.


Also he had the chipped scales before shed, when he shed they came right off, but they're back and he isn't suppose to shed til next month or so
* i will try to post pictures*



any help or tips will be GREATLY appreciated.
