    My pastel has RI! What do I do!?
    Ok so I just noticed it today
    I took him to a very good breeder to see what she thinks.
    She said he isn't to bad.and to raise the temps and humidity.
    And quarentine him. So that's what I'm doing. But I'm scared.
    He's still breatheing thru his nostrals
    There's not an obserd amount of mucus out his nose.
    But he's randomly gapeing his mouth and weezing.
    I'm taking him to the vet tomorrow.
    Does all this sound right? Any other tips or suggestions to care for my baby!?

    Another thing is.... I had a mouse in there with him before I noticed. Is it safe to feed off that mouse to another snake or should I kill and get rid of the mouse?

    Throw out the mouse, it is not worth the risk either way.

    Can I freeze them? Would that kill the infection in the mouse?
    Becuz no I don't know which one it was and I put him with the other mice in a panic

    You can't go wrong with taking him to a reptile vet. A RI is a serious condition.

    I'd toss the mouse and try my best to keep the water bowl as clean as possible, the bacteria can incubate there.

    Also I would recommend checking out this video on RI's:
