Hi I took in a baby royal yesterday and it's got a bit of crust around its vent iv given it a bath and been cleaning it with warm water every few hours and idea what could cause this?
cant see clearly from the pic but possibly looks a little infected on the one side, would be worth a trip to the vet's and see what they say an get some med's if needed
1.0.0 burmese python,giblet. 1.0.0 BCI, william. 0.1.0 blue tongue skink, 0.1.0 green iguana, jasmin, 1.0.0 cape house snake, 0.1.0 checkered garter snake
It's a little out of focus at the key place but from the coloration it's scale rot. Possibly brought on by stuck shed skin around the vent causing a build up of the bacteria and/or fungus. If there is skin there it needs to be removed which should be aided by the cream. You'll have to let us know what was prescribed, and how you get on. Keep a photo diary of the recovery it's always handy for other keepers when this sort of thing is shared.
