You may also be able to get betadine bristle scrub brushes from the vet if you take your snake in.

I treated a snake several years ago for a belly burn/possible scale rot. I was instructed to scrub her belly with betadine and absolutely no soaking for the animal in question while the rot was going on.

U can also get betadine (sometimes less expensive for the same strength product) at your local drug store/Walgreens, etc. Some vets like to mark up the prices quite a bit.

Does scale rot tend to "dry up", so to speak, when healing?
