can shed aid cause an allergic reaction to my snake its a 3 year old albino king and since shedding hes skin on the 23rd of this month hes developed a sort of red rash underneath hes scales and its discoloured them red and brownie, hes underbelly is perfect its just the top as in my last post and scale rot has been mentioned but hes problem doesnt look like any of the pics ive seen so i was wondering if it could be an allergic reaction ?? as he was sprayed with shed aid after.
