My corn snake has spots. Could it be scale rot? How do I treat it?

Question

Can you confirm if my corn snake is starting with scale rot please. Pet's info: Reptile | Other Snake | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 5 months old

Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

This could be a snake in recovery from an old infection, rough shed or trauma. It could also be very early infection. You will need to monitor the areas in questions for redness, spreading or discharge. Watch Logan for lethargy or a decrease in appetite. If you are concerned about developing infection, you can clean the areas daily with a diluted Betadine or chlorhexadine (Hibiclens) solution. If the spots worsen, have Logan seen by your veterinarian or a vet experience din treating reptiles for confirmation and treatment.
