aLI HAS A MAJOR RI! PLEASE HELP Hurry hurry hurry!

yep its in the fridge. As for the care fresh, I like it because it keeps in humidity really well when I mist it. And, after I mist it there isn't any dust. I actually don't notice the dust in the first place at all.

Believe me.. It's VERY dusty. Why would you want your snake breathing that in? Open a bag, stick your face in and breathe deeply. I bet that you cough and sneeze. I've never had good experiences with it when using it with rats, and snake lungs are about as fragile as rat lungs. Why chance it..

If you want to use carefresh, use the white Ultra type. It's not as dusty.

While she is sick though, use newspaper or paper towels. It will be much easier to keep things clean and keep the air clear of any dust. After she is better, if you have problems with humidity, put her on cypress mulch. Not dusty and won't mold easily. It's also SO much more economical than that Carefresh junk. Even aspen would be a better choice

Update: I have the RI under control. I switched from carefresh to paper towels. I started cleaning cages and I took a better look at the bottom of the tank, Ewwwww! So much dust and crud was on the class. Forget that stuff. lol. The mucous that was flowing out of her mouth is residing, not so much popping either. I'm on my fourth shot of Antibiotics tomorrow, and the antibiotics are called Fortaz, and I have two more voiles of it left. I will have a video up of me giving her a shot! Just for fun! thank you all, have a nice day!

Fortaz is good stuff, glad to hear he's doing better. I keep a humidifier controled by a humidistat in my snake room because the hot dry Cali air along with the dry air from the forced air heating cause some RI's for me in the past. Now I keep the heating vents closed in the snake room in the winter and heat with aa oil filled heater on a t-stat and have never had a problem since. I noticed that my sinuses would get fried I could only imagine how a Ball python must have felt.

Glad to hear it is under control:gj:

UPDATE:
Ali is on her last two injections. When she first got the ri, she had shed approx. 3 days before hand. She shed only a week and a half later. Right after that she started looking way better. Now I still here a little popping, some wheezing but she is finally eating (5 week fast), her shed was a perfect one piece and she looks beautiful! Thanks again for all your help! I really owe you guys! thanks!:salute:
