Scale rot is a bacterial infection found in snakes, it's often caused by the enclosure being too high in humidity for extended periods of time. Like, high humidity to a point where the substrate is moist for example.Originally Posted by MercedesBenz
Can also be caused by the enclosure being dirty, when the animal has to slither through their own excrements....
Treatment is (usually) a trip to the vet, a betadine or similar solution treatment, and anti-bacterial medication prescribed by the vet
If you Google around a bit, there's a lot more and more scientific (but also contradicting, for some reason) information on it!
