If and only if you are strict on your husbandry practices. You won't have any issues with scale rot. Most scale rot comes from little things like a rat bite that's gets infected with bacteria. And the bacteria comes from bad cleaning practices. Not cleaning
And maintaining the cage like it should be. Things do happen that's true. But you won't have an issue with it if you are on top of things. I spot clean daily, change bedding weekly and sanitize bi weekly.I've never had a problem with scale rot. If you feed live after every feeding take the snake out and check for any bites. You should be able to do this quickly if you watch with the feeding and if you see the rat struggling quite a bit have a safety plan for preventing biting while the rat is being constricted. Stunning or chopsticks work quite well. Little things like this and regular mantainance of the cage and also examining your animals frequently for changes do wonders.
