Hello all,

I've been helping out a friend with his BP who got an infection. The blisters were lanced and cleansed with H2O2 3% and now polysporin is applied daily. The snake isn't allowed to soak, but is offered water 2-3 times daily. The redness had gone down but is back a little bit in these pics:



Anyone with any experience with this disease? I've been fortunate not to have even heard of it until this, is this a pretty normal progression on the road to recovery? You can see old scales falling away, and a lot of dead tissue being sloughed, but it seems to be, particularly from where it was that the infection isn't as bad as it was.

I've noticed the crest of the back has lightened significantly:


Is this an indication of the infection? Is it a bad sign?

Thanks for your comments.
