Hard to tell but it can be caused by a lot of things.

Is substrate wet? If he can't get away damp or wet substrate this can be a cause. Remember a humid environment doesn't mean wet sub.

Bacteria in the sub, needs cleaned or changed.

Mold can do it

But most of the time it's wet sub they need a side that's more dry as well try adding ventation to the enclosure.



Did you feed live prey? Looks like a rat nip to me.

Remember if it is scale rot it can get into the blood steam eventually and that is fatal.
