Ri in my BP :(

Please don't bash me :( 2 of my ball pythons have got RI and I think it's due to me changing them to orchid bark.. I feel so bad they have been quarantined and are having antibiotics from the vets.. one seems to be improving. . How long will it take to go? Also is there anything else I can do to help them.. I have been sanitizing everything.. has anyone had success stories with ri?

With antibiotics and a home remedy, it took my little girl about three weeks to fully recover. I also caught it very early.

what symptoms were they showing that alerted you they were sick? how long after you made the bedding change did they start showing symptoms?

I've never used orchid bark but I know people who do. I had no idea they could get sick from it like that. Good luck to you. I hope they pull through.

Orchid bark can cause RI?

Kind of what I'm wondering.

I always use orchid bark, never had an RI.

OP - what are your temps, humidity? How are you measuring these?
