    Is this scale rot?

    Hey all I just noticed this about a week ago it hasn't been seemed to be growing or anything but I just wanna know what you all think. Also what I should do I never had to deal with this before. The tips of a few scales are brown and I don't remember seeing that when she was smaller, now that she has grown I can see her paterns and such better.

    u



    if it was would it be getting worse and stuff? I touched the scales and they don't seem flakey or anything. Please help if you can

    I'd give it a rub with a damp paper towel - I suspect you have a poo-casso.

    Yea, probably just coco husk dust and poop. That's the only problem with owning a white snake is that you can see all the dirt on them...

    I dont ever recall seeing scale rot on any part other than a belly....... Unless the animal is kept in horrid conditions.
