    Respitory infection

    I hate to say this with all of my heart but..
    My male blood and female yellow conda have both seem to come down with a respitory infection. Im sure this is some cause for some of the male bloods overly agressive behavior lately. The blood seems to have it worse than the conda. She just has some very minor weezing etc. The bloods is easily noticeable. Generaly i take the best care of my herps possible but i have been very busy lately ( im in to med school. still not an excuse ) so ive unfortunately slacked off on my humidity. I honestly CANNOT afford to take them to the vet at this momment with all the money problems, the vet here is like $2000 per snake just for a check up. Ive done a HUGE MAJOR increase in humidity back to the proper amount pluss a little more. I have given the male blood the shots for RI before, when i first got him he had RI from his previous owner but that was several years ago. Is it to late to fix the problem or do you think it can be fixed? Any help, advice, and suggestions are greatly apreciated. Please dont flame
    Thank you!

    Yes it can be fixed with proper vet care and proper treatment (and vets do not cost $2000 per snakes for a visit )

    Get them to a vet get them evaluated and treated.

    Vets offer payment plans BTW

    I'm with Deb.. It never fails lower temps for breeding, stress of breeding I find a whistle in a tub..

    A good Herp..I stress the word herp so let me say it again HERP VET shouldn't cost over 100.00 with med's.

    Get it to a vet..in the mean time boost the humidity and temps..it'll help relieve some of the symptoms. They may even go away, but don't be fooled it still needs a vet..
