I have a WC female blood that has a few issues. She came to me with a bad case of mites, which appears to have been sucessfully treated, and a pretty bad place on her head were she had been rubbing it against her enclosure. She has finally calmed down and stopped rubbing her head and it's now scabbed instead of bleeding and open. But she now has many scales that are sticking out at weird angles and a few that are brown and scaley or missing altogether and bleeding..could this be scale rot(and if it is, is it contaigious? she's not anywhere near my other snakes, but i'd just like to know) or could it just be from her rubbing herself when i'm not around, because it appears that she has stopped rubbing and is content, but i can't watch her all the time. thanks
