HELP! Bad shed? Scale rot?

[Nater]

I recently got back from vacation and immediately checked my BP's. I noticed that my male was in shed while I was gone. Unfortunatly he had a hard time shedding his skin due to the low humidity. His head and back peeled but I noticed his belly and tail was still attached. I soaked him for about an hour and was able to peel some of the rest off. However his belly was still connected and I didn't want to peel it myself being afraid I would hurt him. I upped the humidity in his cage to help promote the shed in hopes he would do it himself. A few days later his belly became very brown and hard, almost looking like a scab. I'm pretty confident it's not a burn as I only have a heat pad with forest floor substrate at least and inch thick. Is there anything I can do to help him? Is this worthy of a Vet visit? Any help in identifying what it is would be greatly appreciated.

P.s I'm having A real hard time trying to put this picture up if anyone knows any tricks let me know (converting a pic from phone to a URL) I'm still new to all of this

What kind of phone is it? If you can, download the photobucket app. Create a quick account then just upload to photobucket. From you phone (if you can), just go to this thread and paste the "HTML" link here.

Alternately you can just hook your phone upto your PC and transfer the photos to your PC. Create a photobucket account, and upload the picture there. Then post it here.

If you suspect any kind of scale rot, you need to change his substrate to paper towels or clean news print.

For the bad shed, take a look at this:
