I had noticed after my ball's previous shed that he had some missing/discolored scales on his head. After searching online for help and possible reasons I had come to the conclusion that he must of had a bad shed.

And then I noticed that around his tail he had these dark discolored scales. Possibly scale rot? I've thoroughly checked over him everyday to see if he had a mite problem and I still can't find anything.

Can somebody please help me out, I would take him to the vet a.s.a.p. but there isn't one in my area. I figure that I could take him to the place where I get my feeders "Ron's Reptiles" and see if they can help. I would assume that they probably have antibiotics considering they have a thousand plus snakes in their collection. I know what your all going to ask and the question is do I keep his cage clean?, Is the humidity relatively high?, etc. Yes his cage is cleaned regularly and kept dry. His humidity stays around 50-55%.
So what is this? and what should I do? Please help my snake.
