I'm sure there are, but I was so stressed out during the problems that I didn't take the time to look through the threads and just outright asked.

I had to tweak the tank (different substrate, change how I kept humidity up, etc.). I also think he was in kind of rough shape when I bought him from Petco- I admittedly didn't do the proper research about how to select a healthy snake and to buy them from breeders.

For the rots I was suggested to soak him in betadine/water solution. This cleared it right up. Two vets that supposedly were exotic experts couldn't help, but the suggestions here made a world of difference.

The rot was from humidity being too high. I was originally told to spray the tank with a mister and when I bought him I was suggested to buy reptibark. This forum set me straight about how to maintain humidity and to use aspen bedding.
