Snake drinks Novaslan

My snow Fluffy some how got scale rot. His enclosure always stays very clean, he did however breed (and did a great job by that) and refused food for 4 months (poor guy is a little on the thin side). He's now back to feeding though. I'm guessing his immunity system was suppressed during the breeding season which is why it happened. At first it looked like one scale retained some skin, but that turned out not to be the case and more scales started turning yellow and wrinkly. Now his scutes are browning in some spots.

Today his cage was sterilized and he's on newspaper. I started soaking him in a Chlorohexidine bath (Novaslan) and he took two gulps of the water (an hour ago). Should I expect any problems from him taking a swig?

Thanks!

If you diluted the Nolvasan as per the directions 9I think for that brand it's 2 ounces per gallon), I wouldn't expect there to be problems. A vet call wouldn't be a bad idea, though.

Will he drink more plain water to help dilute it more?
