    i honestly don't know, but here is a quote i found from a similar post

    Bear with me here. You said you can still see the outline of the scale ? If the scale was truly missing, the skin beneath should be white/cream, not dark.

    The photos are a little fuzzy and not really close up, it looks to me like his color changed, not that he lost scales. If you run your fingertip over the spot, is it soft and leathery or can you feel scales?

    If you can feel the scales, it is entirely possible that he just changed colors. It happens all the time with ball pythons. If you cannot feel the scales at all, just soft, faintly leathery skin, I would recommend a vet visit to rule out infection.

    NEVER home treat anything like this with a unproven method you read on the internet, that is a really good way to get into a lot of trouble.

    Hmmm ok guess I'll be taking a trip the vet it's hard to tell due to her being pied and all white. I do know they are not shiny like the rest and do feel and look leathery.

    THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Also what type of substrate are you working with? Are you sure its not too damp on the floor of the enclosure?

    It's on the hide under the heat emitter with a laser thermometer . I was also worried about that but it's pretty dry most of the day.

    Nope none at all. With what I've read from the post paroxysm referenced I do think it was the neosporin. I will be taking her to the vet just to be 100% sure.

    How wet do you keep your substrate and how often do you clean?
