Here is the background. I have a beautiful ball. She got up to about 1000g and stopped eating. I didn't start worrying till she started loosing weight. She seemed to drop weight fast and got down to 800g. I took her to a friend and they said she was ok as she didn't look thin (she was a bit pudgy to start with). When she got down to 700g I asked another friend to look at her. They said she had scale rot (even to me her belly looked ok but I am no expert by a long shot) and he got her cleared up and eating again. My question is now that she is back should I feed her 2 mice at a time (she can hold 4 at a time) and let her get a bit hungry between feeding or should I feed her as much as she will eat at each feeding? I don't want her to stop eating again.

Also they said she had a bad case of scale rot. Can someone explain this to me? How does a snake get it and what did I miss as far as symptoms? She wasn't wheezing, no odd color scales. I use F10 for cleaning cages and clean them at least once a week (unless they spill their water then if it get humid in the cages I clean them). I usually wait for at least 30 seconds for the F10 to clean before I wipe the cages down. I am trying to wrack my brain to figure out what I might be doing wrong.

It has been 2 years since I lost my albino girl and to this day it haunts me. I often wonder what I did wrong and when one of my snakes stop eating I freek a bit. I thought scale rot showed in a red belly. To me this girls belly was white. What did I miss? Any help is appreciated. Should I clean the cages differently or should I just throw them all out and get new cages?
