Has the Snakes environment changed lately? Bedding, location Etc.
Another thing is the changing of the seasons, any external changes can drastically influence the internal conditions of an enclosure, depending on the enclosure and location of it.
Rot is most commonly determined by a browning of the scales, so look for that.
Another thing is hydration and parasitic infection.
So if you have a spare enclosure, get it warm and clean, make sure there is a fresh water source of sufficient size and check on the snake regularly.
If the browning occurs its most probably a rot.
If it is, its early stages and not so serious.
It can also be a number of infections viral, or fungal, which i know little about.
So check it out and post here as soon as you see any changes, i am sure someone will be able to identify the condition.
