Send her this link and tell her to keep the snake off the substrate and use some form of triple antibiotic/neosporin WITHOUT lidocaine..
There is more info on scale rot on the link..
Hope that helps 
See if you can find out anything on her husbandry and housing as well..

Post Script: if she has the snake on carpet, that is a likely culprit..the snake poops, the owner cleans with bleach, no amount of bleach will get rid of the urate dust and the combination of heat and humidity is a prime breeding ground for bacteria..
However scale rot can occur under many conditions...
