    Female ghost w/ RI

    I have an adult female off feed for about 3 months that has RI. ( i believe ) She has been looking quite stout and healthy until about 2 - 3 weeks ago. I had been cooling my boas until last month. She has been refusing since the heat was turned up and is now losing weight rapidly. Is there any type of medication that can help with this?

    Any noises, mucus, bubbles? There are a couple different kinds of antiobiotics you can use but best thing would be to get a culture sample to figure out the best kind. Baytroll is what I had used a while back and it worked great.

    Vet trip ASAP an RI can kill your Snake if left untreated, home treatments generally don't work.
