I just fell in love with this snake already and don’t want any harm and the best life possible here is a photo of meds and yes the vet showed us but problem is I faint at the sight of needle threw skin so my fiancé is helping me out bless her soulhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...69e61fb980.jpg

There's a reptile probiotic called NutriBAC that is helpful at replenishing a snake's gut flora after it is given a course of antibiotics. You can find it on Amazon or from vendors like The Bean Farm.

Oh yeah forgot to mention the probiotics. I had to mix a probiotic and organic baby food blend for Harley when she was on antibiotics. Poor girl was a mess. I had to dribble food on her nose and she would slowly lick it off.

Tazicef. Same stuff as Fortaz, just a different brand name. Have fun giving shots and let me know how it works for a little retic. I have always dreaded having to give a little snake a shot. I was sweating bullets giving Harley shots. Was worried i would go too far in and hurt her. Didnt but i always worried about it.

No disrespect but this is not good info to give to people. The cool spot should never go down to 70, thats RI temps all day.
You want 76 as the lowest & I prefer 78-81.. Your Hot Spot no lower than 86 but I prefer 88-91.

And since you are giving antibiotics, you should run the temps a little warmer to speed up the snakes metabolism during the treatment.
