Took my snake to the herp vet today and they did some tests, determined he has an early-stage bacterial respiratory infection and gave me oral baytril. I have been told to boost the temp and humidity slightly, which I did already. His symptoms are still subtle (just occasional clicking and sometimes a
head raise) but I didn't want to wait. Is there anything else I can do to keep him comfortable. How often should I disinfect his tank, and should I have him on substrate or would that make sanitizing more difficult? I have no other snakes so cross contamination is not an issue.
I am slightly upset that I have to disturb and stress him so often for his medications but I will try to make it as quick as possible.
edit: in my last post on this I was given a bit of info on his "convalescent" tank setup but I want to make sure I get it right. He kind of seems stressed without his plants and leaves; I don't want it to be too bare.
