    That should be enough. It seems like you're looking at a fairly mild case of scale rot so I imagine it won't take too long to knock it out.

    You don't need polysporin in addition to the betadine (don't think it'd hurt anything), but if you ever use it, be sure it's the kind without painkiller.

    Ok I just wanted to make sure, I want to get her well as fast as possible. I will stick with the betadine.

    Thanks for the help

    you can try switch the coco husk to paper towels or newspaper at this moment to prevent further infection from dampness.
    keep the humidity at 60%, make sure your snake is not wet always and i think you should be fine

    i think 55% humidity should be fine. no need to bump up the humidity anymore. i'm having the same issue with my yellowbelly bp. she was like that when i got her pretty cheap from the pet store. but more like an injury for mine. she is still recovering now.
