Is this scale rot?

I've been away for the last 2 and a half days and came home to check on my beardies. I picked Baby up and happened to glance at her belly and saw a ton of brown, shriveled up scales. Her belly was fine before I left, and she's always had the occasional black or brown shriveled scale on her belly (but nowhere near as many in the pic I attached) so I don't know if it's some sort of scale rot or if she's been rubbing her belly on her log hide. She sits on it all day and glass dances, but I'm not sure if that's what scraped up scales would look like. Does this look like any sort of fungis or scale rot? It doesn't smell necrotic at all.

Do any areas on her belly look wounded? Since the dark scales are so far apart, I'd guess that it's just a natural coloring or a very uneven shed. My dragon has a similar pattern of seemingly random darker scales on his belly.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
