We recently moved less than a month ago and he has been doing just fine eating and being active as usual. Unfortunately his first shed since the move has been not the best and I’ve been making sure to keep the humidity up but I noticed he had some redness on his Underbelly and sides about 2 to 3 days ago. I posted on another forum and people were telling me to treat it as scale rot. I am follow this as a precaution to make sure it does not get worse https://reptile.guide/scale-rot-in-snakes/ . I have yet to receive the soap so I can begin washing him but I am washing him with water for now and I washed his tank last night with antibacterial soap and water , I have changed his substrate to just paper towels and keeping his tank extra clean. Should I continue to keep the humidity up or should he remain on the dryer side for now?? he still hasn’t finished shedding from his neck up to his head and face but the rest of his body is pretty much finished. I also noticed that when I was sanitizing his tank yesterday His heat mat was quite hot much hotter than it has been in the past so I’m worried that maybe it is on it’s last leg and possibly burned him in the process. I just looked at his Underbelly some more today and it does have a pinkish tint. I attached photos let me know what you think.
