Unhappy Belly/Scale Rot?

I just took this ball off the hands of someone I know. Does this look like Belly or Scale Rot? I've never seen it, but it sure looks like it to me.

One way or another get him to a vet ASAP, but that could also be from a heat rock, ask the guy you got him off of if he had a heat rock for him, if he says no then get to the vet ASAP because that looks really bad.

Well, I had some advice from a vet who saw the pics. She said ~10 minute soaks in a betadine bath (diluted to a tea-like color) and neosporin treatments should do the trick. Along with the obvious: proper substrate and husbandry practices. So I did all that and voila! She shed this morning and there is no sign of belly rot anywhere. I guess it wasn't quite as bad as it had looked.
Now if I could only get my hands on the guy that gave it to her...

Cool , I had one come in from a friend as well that had MAJOR belly rot. A coupe doses of Tylan and 2 sheds has her doing great now. She was 600 grams when I got her in not even 3 months ago and she is 1000 grams now with no power feeding.

Thanks
It broke my heart when I pulled her outta the box. Now she is one of my best eaters. Me so happy.
