Hi! My names Meg (I'm new)...I have had my ball python, Penelope, since she was a baby...about 7 years now. Within the last week I noticed she had some strange looking marks on her stomach, I took her to the vet and he said they're burns. (Prob. from the uth malfunctioning/ overheating) So, I got a new UTH and have been putting Neosporin on her everyday and soaking her in warm (about 90 degrees) water and then adding a little iodine (she hates the iodine and I'm afraid it burns or something). My vet also gave me shots of antibiotics to give her every 3 days; however, after looking online at scale rot I'm afraid that's what it is. I will post some pictures and would love to get your opinions! And any suggestions on how to keep her in the water with the iodine, I dont want to force her but I know its important so it doesn't get infected.

Thanks!!
Meg (and Penelope)
