I also set up the f-10 fogger this morning. Their hotspots are sitting at 92-93 with an ambient in the high 70s. The vet also recommended trying to feed...I would think this would add to their stress so I'm gonna wait a few more days before attempting to offer rats.
I am also soaking 2x a day for about 10 min to help rehydrate them...
Am I missing anything, is there anything else I should be doing?
BTW: the woman texted me and asked of she could get the tubs back...lol

the woman who adopted them out to you or the original owner? well i wouldnt give her the tubs if most of them have RI or something wrong with them...?

The woman who gave them to me..After prying for the whole story this is what I've gathered...
Woman A drops off a breeding collection of high end morphs at woman B's house to take care of for whatever reason. Woman A never comes to check on or take care of the snakes. Woman B has no idea how to take care of snakes and out of 40 original snakes only 12 survive 2 mos. At woman B's house. Woman B can't figure out why the snakes are dying (no water or heat) and decides to give away all remaining snakes after woman A says she is unable to take them back...the vet said it took atleast two months for the snakes to decline to the state they are in, so it matches up with this lady's story.
Either way this story is a sad one for the animals involved and I couldn't leave them to suffer after seeing how this woman cared for them.

As everyone else has been saying, sucks they were abandoned but amazing that there so beautiful. Luckyyyyy

I agree lol I feel like I won the lottery! I was just telling my mother that "snakes just dont fall from heaven" lol apparently sometimes they do! Even if they were all normals I probably would have done the same to help give em a fighting chance...the fact that they turned out to be morphs...all the sweeter! Thanks everyone I can post more pictures tonight after dosing them if you want

Oral Baytril is not as affective as Baytril injections. Also it has been found that f10 fogging is not beneficial to ball pythons and can be harmful.

i dont understand why everyone is tripping, if they were abandoned then they were, she has them now for FREE but when i saw the list i was all like :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. but anyway, just let her do her thingg.

I'm just doing what the herp vet told me to do. I'm not a vet and I trust that she knows what she is doing...she'd better, after paying her that kind of money.
I literally used one drop of disinfectant to a gallon of water (dilution is normally 1oz to 1gal), more so with the intent to sanitize the room/air.

I have never heard this, do you have any documents to back it up? Not trying to argue, I've just seen quite a few different species really benefit from the f10 treatments, and if there is something solid stating it's harmful to ball pythons then I think it should be put out there so people know about it and can avoid it...
