It doesn't actually look like a burn so why should be blindly follow someone and offer up unnecessary treatment? If this was a misdiagnosed RI and he suggested injecting baytril and thus giving this snake baytril burns would that be still okay?

It's an animals health we're talking about. It isn't a place for google kids. This one is for the experienced.

I agree I'm waiting to find out what happens and then out of the blue medication is being suggested but no one even knows what it is yet.

It isn't scale rot, is in the wrong place and looks all wrong, doesn't look like a burn, especially not a fresh one anyway. If the snake is acting normally, i'd wait it out til the next shed, looks like it will just shed out.

Re: Is this scale rot?

I had the same thing happen to my sunfire a couple years ago. I took him to the vet and he said it wasn't serious and to see how it looks after his next shed and if it was still there or worse afterwards, to bring him back in and he'd do some tests. It completely went away after the next shed. I'm not saying it's not a concern, I'm just saying to see how it is after it's next shed. If it's still there, definitely have it checked out. Keep us updated on how it's doing.

Well I didn't google anything but the one sickness I saw about white scales on a forum. I was looking up similar stuff on other snake forums because obviously no one here knows exactly what it is.

I wish it was new years.....

Anyway I had something that looked exactly like that on Gabby (bci). I saw it actually happen. It was a scratch and it went away after one shed. I will look for pictures.

Re: Is this scale rot?

To update everyone. I took the picture with me to the White Plains expo and got two different opinions from two different reptile vets. Both said wait to see if it goes away by the next shed if not bring her in. They also said it definitely wasn't a burn or scale rot but cant be sure unless they saw her in person. They said they think it could be just a discoloration or a bacterial infection. So I will keep you guys updated for the weeks to come and hopefully it will just go away.Thanks again everyone!

The problem I have with that statement is, applying betadine to the skin is highly unlikely to "make it worse" but odds are it can help prevent infection and/or help if it is any one of a several possibilities I can think of. There aren't any skin conditions (except for perhaps massive deep wounds) that are going to be made worse by applying antiseptic. At the very worst scenario, they just won't help.

And I suppose you know something we don't? Mentioning reasonable possibilities is not the same as making a diagnosis, which none of us, even if we were a veteranarian, can do remotely. Therefore, mentioning possibilities is all we have. And just for the record, burns do not look the same when they first happen as they do later when they begin to brown and crust. And there isn't always blistering.

So unless you have some magical powers of remote observation that the rest of us don't have, maybe you should take the "holier than thou" attitude somewhere else. It's uncalled for and unnecessary. Quite frankly I get sick of hypocrites which is why I don't visit most reptile forums. Too many know it all's and to many people berating other people because they think they know more. Nothing personal Lady bug.

I think the best advice anyone here can give, is to take the snake to a vet. There's no way we can diagnose from a picture.

Did the vet recommend using any antiseptics on it?

I laughed heartily at this....

And for the record I have a lot of magical abilities like a built in bullcrap meter that can work from any distance.

I also have a purple skittle pooping unicorn named Harvey though he's more of a pet...

and on that note, have you ever used baytril injections on this snake to treat an RI?
