    I need advice and help a.s.a.p
    Im 99% sure that my snake has a RI... I got him two weeks ago today, So I am tryin to figure out wether it was sick before I got it or wether it got sick in my care.

    So my question is, How long will it take once the snake is sick to start showing signs (It wasnt showing any signs yesturday)

    Was he sick when I got him or did he get sick in my care?

    To my knowledge it depends on the type of bacteria found.
    But a vet trip sounds to be in definate order.

    Well what are your temps and humidity set to?
    Also RI's are nothing to play around with or let go for to long.

    It is at 89-94 on cool and about 80-84 on the cool side and the humidity is at aprox. 35. The earliest I can get him into a vet is wednsday or thursday.

    Temps are good, but humidity sould be around 50-60% - 70% (or humid hide) impending shed.

    How and what are you using to measure your temps and humidity? What is your setup like and how often are you handling the snake?

    She is lieing. She measures only temp of one side with a needle guage. That is... she doesn't measure the cool side or the hum. and it is a 1 1/2' bp living in a 10gl tank at her house! And she handles it on a daily basis no matter if it is shedding and no matter if it just ate. This is my sister! I know! It's sad. I feel so bad for her snake.

    Since you seem to be able to come into contact with this snake and her owner. Maybe you could take it upon yourself to help out?
    Just an idea but such negative critisizm may not help your sister with her husbandry skills.
    I don't know, I don't know either of you personally. But it sounds like she has at least reached out for a bit of help. Seems you have a bit of experience behind you, and look at that, you are also close by to her.
