scale rot :-( HELP ASAP, vet havent helped

So much for "being a good keeper"!!! I've never seen a burn that bad in my life. That kind of junk doesn't happen overnight and only an irresponsible snake owner would allow that to happen.
There 's been good advice given, but I am absolutely disgusted with the OP. Sickening.

A bit harsh, since he took the animal promptly a vet, and was told it was a bacterial infection, not a burn!
I don't believe that the OP is an irresponsible owner--just one who didn't have a crucial piece of information, and then fell victim to a less than competent veterinarian, compounding the problem exponentially.
If the vet had said 'that looks like a burn', if the vet had asked any questions about the temperatures and husbandry, it would never have become so severe.
