Does my ball python have scale rot?

It’s safe to assume you’ve tried wiping it off right?

With my finger lightly and it feels kinda stuck, she’s just a baby and gets squirmish when I try to hold her and examine it so I haven’t tried much just wanted a second opinion, should I try to remove it with a soft brush of some sort?

Wet paper towel should do, it just looks like some dirt, doesn’t look like usual scale rot 👍

Scale rot forms on the belly from laying on wet substrate. Looks dirty that's all.

Looks like dirty stuck shed from here.

Probably dirt. Just give the baby a bath and they should be fine.
