He said we might need to change antibiotics when he received results, he called a week after I took the first one in and said the batryl will treat them and made one dose adjustment for the smallest snake.

How long have they been on the Baytril?

Thank you, I would appreciate that a lot.

Same here. List, please.

Freeze them? Ouch. That's hardcore. I wouldn't do that to a poor sick snake! I can't believe those breeders can sleep at night.

Uggh. What kinda sick person would freeze an animal to death? Disgusting...

Please send me the list as well. That is cruel. I will not do bussiness with someone like that.

The first snake went to the vet on the 25th of Sept and has been quarantined since then. She was in a rack that holds 6 28qts and 5 41qts tub rack. I tore the rack down bleached everything and used f10 vet disinfectant and checked the other snakes. They were not showing symptoms at that time so I thought I caught it early enough.

1 other snake in the rack showed symptoms about 2 weeks later and has been receiving anitbotics and quarantined as well.

Went through the disinfectant process again and Wednesday have 2 others showing signs. Packaged the rest up and took all 9 that were in the rack to the vet.

So in a nut shell they are in various stages vet care at this time.

In an effort to keep the thread on track and focused on your sick animals, someone receiving this list of breeders might consider a separate thread to share the names? I am thinking in the camp of people who are misinformed/cold hearted enough to inhumanely put a snake down (illegal in most states unless I've missed something about reptiles not being protected by animal cruelty laws) there are 2 types:

#1 -People who do it and never speak of it

#2 -People who do it and have no problem talking about it or advising others to do it


Both are despicable, but people who are in group #2 need to be rooted out and publicly slammed for sharing information like that with less experienced keepers as if it's an appropriate or even LEGAL means of putting a reptile down. OP I am glad you have taken the animals to the vet and are getting some help there. I think you have a responsibility to the hobby to share those names. I can see the pictures on the news now of frozen snakes and people calling for the end of hobby breeding.
