Scale Rot or just Discoloration?
To summarize, I've made some changes to Yaezir's (my BP's) enclosure the past week or so, including sealing the bottom edges of the tank, adding a bar across the tank for climbing, and adding a layer of some new substrate (coco chip, same as the rest, but different brand: Repti Chip). When I took Yaezir out today, I saw this discoloration along his underside. I immediately assumed it was scale rot and ordered Neosporin (non-pain relief kind) and bacitracin that will arrive tomorrow. Upon further research, however, I'm wondering if it's merely discoloration from the new substrate rather than scale rot, since I haven't been able to find any pictures that match what Yaezir has going on. I did also notice that the new bedding had discolored the water a rust-ish color when initially moistening it to fluff it up. Can anyone confirm one way or the other whether it's scale rot or not? I do intend to treat it anyway just in case it IS scale rot!
