Need some GREAT advice here!!!!

Also, bedding most certainly can make a difference. She told me this happens often and to just clean it with a qtip twice a week until it goes away. This was NOT told to me before they arrived, so this is something I was unaware of and should have been told. State law here says once something has been in another persons possession for 30+ days, they are the legal owner of it. If I have to take them to a vet, I will sell them to get my money back, and to make sure they go into a home that will care for them. If someone can get up and move to another state they should be able to pay a vet bill. I was told I would be helped financially with these 2 animals and have not been. So if this is what I have to do to keep them healthy, then that's what I will do. I'm hoping they will stop jerking me around soon and just pay the vet bill so she can heal and possibly be on her way into the reptile room after qt. You don't tell someone you will help, then pretty much so no when they ask for help, especially to save your animals life. This also was a long term sit for about a year, so the help is needed. Crappy part is this happened shortly after they got here. I've been feeding my rats to them, causing me to loose out on breeders since there is no food $$ as promised. So at this point, what needs to be done will be done.

Now that that is out of the way, I think I am going to offer them three choices, best would be a vet visit. Second would be to buy the fogger and some f10 and hope it works. Third, we take care of it and do what we have to do to ensure good health for the remainder of their lives and get back what I spend in case one of MY animals needs a visit. Its doubtful but stuff happens!

Choice #4 - either they get their snakes ASAP, or they sign a boarding agreement. You're not "snake sitting" while the snakes remain on the owner's property for a few days while they're gone, you're providing long-term care of their animals. Look for horse boarding agreements in your state, it will also spell out things like a "stableman's lien" if the owner fails to pay, and what recourse you have under the contract to ensure the animals receive vet care and under what circumstances the animals can be sold if the owner fails to pay for their expenses.

The bedding is pine pellets. But it shouldn't really make a difference.
Tons of people keep their snakes on pine with no issue since all commercial pine is kiln dried.

If you can't afford the vet, bump up the temps and humidity. And try the fogger.
I really do encourage getting the snake to a vet and getting a culture done. Just because a vet prescribes antibiotics, doesn't necessarily mean it will work. A culture has to be done in order to find out what type of antibiotics will be effective towards the infection.

Not sure if the youtube responses provided this option or not but i might as well throw it out there. When i got my burmese from a previous owner, he had an RI which i fixed with no vet help. What i do is, of course bump up the temp/humidity if its too low (or bump the humidity down if its too high), and i make this mixture out of vicks vapor rub and water. Just boil the water, then mix in the vapor rub. Put it in a safe container inside the cage (make sure he cant tip it over or anything) and it should clear up. Ive also recommended this method to numerous friends and it has worked without fail so far.
With that said though if the home remedies dont work, id definitely take them to the vet then sell them if you want to provide funds for the vet bills. If the owner doesnt care enough to put forth the money or effort to help his/her snakes, then they dont need to have any.
