Antibiotic cream for scale rot(mild)?

Use the Neosporin if you have it.

If it gets worse, notify your vet.

Most times you can keep em clean and dry.

And the next shed, they're fine.


Cardboard hides, yeah I'd ditch em, get some plastic ones you can wash and disinfect.

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?

O yeah I throw them out when soiled. The scale rot 1 thin line on a big scale on his belly, 2 or 3 tiny scales under his head, and imagine the big scales on his belly, well 1 of the tiny ones off to the side of those. He is due for a shed in 2-3 weeks.
