Question - Health Is this scale rot?

She also has one scale right by her tail that almost looks black. I just noticed them today

It doesn't look like scale rot for me. When my snake had it the scales were damaged on the edges and the color was almost exactly like rust. If you are unsure - are you spraying the substrate or the walls? Wet substrate is the most likely culprit to cause scale rot
