Indeed. I want it to order to have it on hand for any future need not to use it now.
I was also just thinking that I would never see these marks on my other snake due to his coloring. Perhaps I am too neurotic to have a white snake where every mark shows.

This is likely very common on snakes, but most are darker in color so we just don't see it. Scale rot looks very different, but it never hurts to ask.
