Oh great...tiny bubbles

Hello everyone!

I suspect my little Alduin may have an RI. So what was the first thing I did? Called in for an appointment at an exotic vet in the next town over. He is scheduled for Tuesday at the earliest just to make sure my suspicions are correct and to get possible treatment.

Now what can I do in the mean time? I had bumped up his temps to give his immune system a boost and had moved him into quarantine(I have two cornsnakes and didn't want them to get sick as well). I had also cleaned his other tub with F10.

Can anyone advise me on anything else?

What should his humidity be like? I have it now at 60%. Should I lower it or increase it?

Thank you everyone.

I bump up humidity as it helps the mucous stay moist so it can be expelled more easily. It's like when you're congested and take a hot, steamy shower - you feel better after you blow the crud out of your sinuses.

Where did you see the bubbles?

Not much you can do without a culture and antibiotics.

Sorry your snakie is sick :(

What's his heat temp at?

Just from hearing about RI posts on the internet, it seems like most are caused by too low temps. So if it's not already, I'd bump his hot spot to 90~92.

Corner of the mouth and I heard a clicky/poppy sound as he was breathing. I hope it is nothing but it really is better to be safe than sorry.

We had a power outage a night ago from someone crashing into a transformer or something like that. The whole block and I think the next one over was out for a while. I tried to keep my snakes warm with my body heat and warmers. Idk maybe I didn't do enough. I put him back in as soon as the power was back on and the tub heated up.

Anyway, his temps before that have been around 90-92 on the hot spot and 78-80 on the cool side ambient is also kept at 80. I try to keep the temps stable.

Ah that is a bummer! The vet will be able to help. Just make sure they do a culture so they know which antibiotics to administer

Hope the vet visit goes well, you seem to have caught it early which is good. Let us know how it goes. :)

Will do. Thank you everyone! I am making sure to take notes on what the Vet says and will insist on getting the culture done on the first visit. Please keep my little world eater in your thoughts and fingers crossed that he recovers quickly.

Almost forgot to say, I absolutely love Skyrim and that you called him Alduin. You'll have to get Paarthurnax next. :rolleyes:
