no more than the iodine will.
Bear in mind though that scale rot is caused by a fungus, thats why being damp is bad, damp + warm = great fungal environment.
F10 is an antifungal, its not a cream as such, its more like vaseline, its absorbed by the skin, the skin doesnt get wet. |

| its absorbed by the skin, there will be no remnants! use cotton buds to apply, because unlike vaseline, it melts really quick the warmer it gets, and skin temp turns it to liquid really quick! Yes do it daily, for a week at least, or until its starting to look better. |

ok, so Twiglet has finally gone blue, just waiting for her to shed, but im really worried about how its going to go!
What should I do? she is still being kept totally dry, and f10 is being applied daily. I just don't know what to do for her shedding as i'm worried its going to all be patchy and stuck on her in different places and cause her more damage! |

| hope the shed goes all ok and she's back to her old self soon, has been a good thread for learning, but another question for the pot so to speak - how would a snake cope in the wild with something like this, where they don't have their human friends to help? |

just leave her be, she will cope. If for whatever reason she does not shed in one piece, then you can help her with it, but until she needs help, just let he get on with it.
snakes cope a lot better on their own than we give them credit for, they have been this way for thousands of years, the fact that they are not only still alive, but flourishing should say enough to everyone!!!
The only time snakes need our intervention is when we do something wrong! |
