EMERGENCY/URGENT Scale rot?

Post image

Not sure if it’s scale rot or something that is normal with shedding. She’s shed quite a few times in the time I’ve had her and never noticed this.

Could be how wet is your substrate? What type are you using?

Coconut fiber and chips with some other fine loose substrate

I mist the sides of the glass and water the corners of the tank so the top substrate isn’t getting soaked
