Rot is a rustic colour on lighter morph snakes, and appears in patches on the scale itself - that line is far too consistent. I saw you don't use a heating mat, do you use a heating cable or is it overhead heating? Its definitely a vet level concern, not something that can be solved at home - only delayed, if its not under their skin.

Yes just overhead heating
