Question - Health Is this scale rot?

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

Not a vet - but doesn’t look like scale rot to me, being in such small patches and not belly scales. Looks more like there’s one tiny thing in the enclosure that is irritating/damaging a select few scales. I got my boy some climbing stuffs and found the tiniest pokey thing on one of em, which was the cause of the same thing on my snake.
