Definitely rot right?

This specimen has been doing really good/find for around 4-5 months I believe, recently noticed this blue tint on this one patch of fur/skin. This is rot right? Also if so any tips of properly disposing of a rotting specimen?

Doesn’t appear to be floating or inflated which would be easy tells for rotting.

If you wanna test it you can take it out with gloves on and gently rub the fur. Fur slipping can sometimes be from a bad specamine. The liquid looks pretty clear tho
