What are you treating them with? Is the cage floor dry and clean?

Instead of trating the illness, prevent it with proper husbandry. Scale rot is caused by too wet, dirty substrate.

If what I've told you to use has worked, than I would continue to use it for the remainder of the problem. (Did you ever get antibiotics, by the way? Or did you just use the SSD and the topical cleanser?)
And they are right. If you have treated it as we/I suggested, and the treatment helped make the scale rot improve, but has consistently came back, than something is wrong with your set-up.
PM me if you need help!

so i just relinquished my bp's to a friend that lives in the same town as a rep vet and is willing to do what he can for them this is the first time ive had any major problems with ball pythons in the 6 years ive been keeping them. and the stress from it has made me decide to take a break from boids and focus on my cullbrides for a while im suposed to have a litter of redtails this summer so maby that will reassure me on my bigger snakes.
