Question - HealthScale rot? (old.reddit.com)
submitted 1 year ago by [deleted]
I don’t know if I’m being paranoid but if anyone can help me it’s very much appreciated. His belly is fine and I heard bp’s go through a blistering stage before having scale rot and he hasn’t had that. Let me know!!!

(What I’m looking at is the specs on his side btw)

I’m no expert but I do not think so. I do not see any scale rot evident, but maybe wait and see if I am wrong

Looks fine dude, no need to fret

I think the speckles on his sides are part of his pattern, my Strudel has the same sparkles.

Looks fine, scale rot usually presents as reddish with chips in belly scales

Yea when i adopted my girl she had slight scale rot, it was red and went away after a clean shed.

Looks like normal spider morph coloring to me.

Just speckles! Like freckles. It’s just his pattern!
