Antibiotic cream for scale rot(mild)?

[cinderbird]

Still, when you think about it, is there really any difference between what I have and what a vet would give me for such a minor case of scale rot? Plus my nearest vet is an hour away and my parents would prob not want to drive me and say I am being overprotective or something.

I was reading through some old husbandry threads and someone said that cardboard hides should not be used. Is there any truth to this, because I have 2 cardboard hides and a rock den?

cardboard is fine as long as you throw the hides out when soiled. Cardboard can harbor wetness and therefor bacteria and molds and other nasties, but clean dry cardboard is cool.

where is the scale rot located on his body?
