weird spot.

FIRST....... how are you regulating your heat source? I know what you posted in your first post on this thread and I am on my phone so I am not going to try and find the others this second.
That photo sure looks like you have a burn going on. Clean the tank, remove all the substrate, regulate your heat source and use paper towels.


When I get to my PC I will merge all the multiple threads together.
For future reference, it doesn't help you or anyone else to keep making a new thread on the same subject.
I just realized way back I had already tried to tell you that you would need a thermostat.

It's been two weeks since I've had the thermostat plugged into the heating pad. And yeah I've realised that too and I've explained why I kept posting new threads before although ive only had TWO threads on the same subject regarding the weird belly.

What were the temps of the heat pad? And how were you checking it? Did you have high humidity levels in the enclosure? High humidity is what causes scale rot...

Un-Cleanlyness is what causes Scale rot... Dirty substrate... Not humidty

Humidity levels were around 95%..It was so dumb of me to think that they actually required that amount of humidity in their enclosure..After all i was a beginner I now keep my humidity levels between 50 -70 percent max and my heating pad's temperature is 29 degrees Celsius.

I still stand by my first answer, not a burn scale rot due to the previous substrate used which created a damp unsanitary environment.

It is minor it will go aways on it's own in a shed or two.

Stop using the cream if it is oil based it will lead to even more issues and find another vet for next time.

Is there a specific way for me to tell if the cream is oil based or not? And are you sure it's a scale rot? :/ im just confused seeing as I've gotten way too many answers by people with different opinions..

Based on the substrate that you were using and the fact that it's a few scale here and there and not a concentration of them in a specific location yes I do believe it is scale rot, now if you want to know for sure take you BP to a herp vet.

As for the cream look up the ingredient and do a little research.

EEKS Im all new to BP but when I setup a tank if my heat pad is set at 40 c its hard to hold my hand on the glass bottom and thats how I judge if it burns me it will burn a snake belly, and I use Aspen shaving as my Substrate it works great but it must be kept up and cleaned when needed. Go look up a Vet that knows exotic animal's.
