    Hurray, RI's all gone! Now...

    I need to get a little weight on my girl. At the vets a week-ish ago they weighed her in at between 550-600g (I can't remember the exact number, she was 400-something when I took her in to them in January) and she's about 3 feet long. Only problem is she's gotten REALLY finicky about eating. She used to chow down every week on the dot. Now she seems to have NO interest in any of the F/T I offer. I'm currently feeding large mice right now (they didn't have any rats at the show I got her at, and I got 50 so I'm still going through them ), have her temps a little bumped up from her RI (90 on hot side and 85 on cool side, it seemed to help her get over it this time) and the humidity's almost constantly 55% but she's not eating and I have an odd feeling that she's not drinking enough either.

    I know the RI probably held her back but what's the next step to getting her plump now that she's healthy again? She's not grossly underweight but she needs to get some meat on her bones. I just gave her her last Baytril dose yesterday out of three doses, so I was planning to wait a week to let her de-stress and relax.

    Congrats on the recovery. Out of curiosity how long did your snake have the RI for?

    Thanks! As far as I know she had it when I got her back in January. This is the second time I had to take her to the vet for it, I thought it went away with the first round of meds but it came back worse.
