Hello. I am very confused looking at my baby’s ball python tale. Does it look like scale rot?
I’m not seeing anything of concern there. Just looks like normal pattern.
Are you perhaps looking at the spurs at the cloaca? They look like a little hook or spike on each side. It’s completely normal if that’s the spot.

I don’t see any scale rot, just normal scales and colours. Their colour can get a bit mottled where the white meets colour, and you’ll often end up with a few coloured scales speckled into the white. It’s just their normal pigment, nothing to be concerned about.
Scale rot most commonly starts on the belly scutes.
