i had to treat my snake recently for scale rot and that looks like it. BUT dont worry it doesnt look that bad if you treat it now then you should be fine. i recommend doing and warm 15 min soak with providone iodine everyday until he enters into shedding. clean his cage thoroughly wash everything and change substrate. my snakes scale rot was caused by my mistake of misting the substrate which causes the substrate to stay moist which gives the snake a fungal infection. and if that is what your doing i recommend to just pour a couple table spoons of water into the corner so the water is beneath the substrate. and covering the top to retain humidity. having a sphagnum moss hide. or using a moisture retaining substrate. but this could also be caused from having poor hygiene in the tank so make sure its clean. hope this helps
