    DONT let the vet just give him a broad spectrum anti-biotic. pay extra for the culture and find out exactly what strain of infection you are dealing with. there are strains out their that baytril will work on but other's baytril wont touch. increase the heat, increase humidity lots of hides and leave him alone. dont attempt to feed, if hes sick he wont eat anyway. most vets will just say here is some baytril....im telling you DONT LET THE VET PRESCRIBE MEDICINE WITH OUT A CULTURE. YOUR SNAKE WILL THANK ME.

    I have heard that keeping the temps slightly elevated can help them get over ri quicker. Beautiful snake btw. Hope he pulls through.

    ThAnks everyone!! And yeah i will get the culture.

    And as far as his enclosure he was kept in a 10 gallon with one hide and water bowl and an UTH..

    Right now i have him in a 12qt tub on 4inch flexwatt kept at 96 degrees on aspen bedding which i will be switching out to either newspaper or paper towels. Humidity is an 65% to help get off some eyecaps and i think i am gonna up it a lil. No hide and i will be place a waterbowl in there with him later today.

    And so far he even refused and ASF but i figured it was because of the RI.
