Scale Rot?

[MitsuMike]

Ok so I currently have my spider girl out and I noticed 6 scales (groups of 3) that are dull and a gray color and seemed to be wrinkled. Is this just a bad shed from before and just gonna go away with the next or is it scale rot? Humidity is like 47-52 norm so I don't see how it could be over humidity and all the rest of her body is hydrated and what not.
Help Please!! Thanks.

Are these belly scales? If they aren't it is probably just a bit of retained shed, nothing to worry about.

As long as you keep your enclosure clean and not soaking wet, you should not have to deal with scale rot.

Nope dorsal side scales. I only keep the tubs wet when they are in shed. Example my pastel is in shed (eyes blue) and I mist the paper towel substrate (gets wet fast). Keeps the humidity up to around 80-90% but that is just for the 5 days.

Doesn't sound like scale rot to me. I would guess either little bits of stuck shed. Also, something I've noticed on occasion when a snake has a bad shed is that it will get off the parts that are stuck, but it damages the new scales underneath, almost like the top layer was lifted off of them. Either issue should resolve itself with the next shed as long as the humidity is good.

To be sure, it never hurts to keep a close eye on the area in case it gets worse or spreads.

How old is she?

How old is she?

5 months I think. I believe she was born in September. I haven't had her shed for me yet, one of the reasons why I'm asking.
