I'm taking my BPs to the vet tomorrow for scale rot; i didn't know what it was until yesterday, and because i wasn't treating it right I'm now seeing how bad it can get, and it can definitely get bad. My female BP has a few large open wounds on her belly now that aren't healing, and the surround area is one large red, painful sore. I will post pics eventually, but it can get very bad and be really painful for the snake.
