Ah, I see. Yeah, from what I understand, ceftazidime "Fortaz" is a very good broad-spectrum antibiotic that has had good results in snakes.

You're right, I have heard of a couple similar cases over the years where snakes would develop brown rot under the ventral scales when kept in a decent dry environment. I guess it could be similar to a human developing boils that are a result of other internal infection{s) going on that the body festers up through the skin surface in an attempt to rid itself of it.

Glad you did the right thing and got it back on track...
