Yes. And mites. And parasites. It's part of why you're supposed to quarantine any new Snake you add for at least a couple weeks before moving them into your reptile room
.
Typically infestations don't get this bad, but I imagine this snake hadn't had food or water for quite some time, was probably not getting proper thermal regulation or moving around much, and they mentioned it needed antibiotics.
.
This should never have happened if it's previous owners weren't cruel assholes

You can read/see another python with a similarly bad infection here
