Help ball python scale rot

[BallPythonKid]

Can anyone give me advice on treating scale rot? Today I rescued a ball python that is due to lay eggs in a couple of weeks. She has scale rot on the bottom half of her belly. It is not too bad and hasn't blistered yet. She started to she'd in little pieces. The scale rot covers a lot of the skin but isn't at an advanced stage. I'd like to save the eggs and not harm them. Does anyone know of a treatment that wouldn't harm the eggs?

Take her to the vet. Do a search on here for scale rot... there are tons of threads on this.

Well my main concern is about the eggs. I'm afraid the povidone iodine might hurt the eggs. I know I can treat her.

Could you post a picture? Just to be on the safe side. A lot of people mix up scale rot and burns.

Upon further inspection i noticed a few mites on her not many maybe five. How do you post pics on here?

I'm on my phone so the picture looks tiny and blurry. But from what I can see it looks very minor. It will go away on its own in a shed or two. You can also bathe her or rub some betadine over the rot.

And shedding in pieces means your humidity is too low.
