Re: scale rot issue, please help
Welcome. I hope you the solution you are talking about is Betadine Solution...Basically you want to soak him in a small tub with that solution mixed with water (basically so it looks like tea). You also want to treat the items in the enclosure as well if you have any in there. (Including the water dish).
You should also use an ointment once he has dried off on paper towel. I've used Triple Antibiotic Ointment Vitamin E Enriched from Walmart (generic brand where the polysporin is in the Pharmacy dept.) which works well. You have to make sure that you cover all of the scales with it to be effective and done every day.
Your snake will shed more often to try and get rid of the rot but without treatment it will get worse, and it will not become fully healed in one shed it takes multiple sheds and could still end up being a scar for some time. Pictures should be provided properly so we can see them to evaluate how severe it is. If it is then a vet trip should be taken.
