    Trinity is gone
    Last winter Trinity started showing signs of RI again. We did culture/sensitivity test and started him on antibiotics again. This time the infection would not clear. We did tests, and more tests. Changed antibiotics many times and still the symptoms got worse. Recently there started to be a tinge of blood to the mucus (this is never a good sign). :tears:

    A Necropsy is being performed.

    I am sure that Trinity is in a better place now, with no pain and discomfort.

    RIP my fat boy.

    Trinity had been ill for a very long time, so these temps. will seem high.

    Ambient temp. 84-85

    Hot side temp. 87-88

    The room is humidified to 40-50 percent.

    There was a cat litter pan of fresh water on the hot side at all times raising the enclosure humidity to 60-70 percent.

    What were the "running around" temps?

    Humidity?

    Age of snake?

    Substrate?

    2kdime,

    The temps and humidity are listed above. I kept him on un-printed news paper for ease of cleaning and disinfecting the enclosure. Trinity would be 4 years old this year. I acquired him at 2 years old and have had never ending problems since the day I brought him home.

    Oh okay, so those were what he was kept at since he's been kinda sick from the get go.

    I thought maybe the environment was altered in response to the health issue.

    Saw some photos of him, he was a beauty. What was he? Looks like he's got some Black Blood in him.

    Any idea how long until the results are in?

    Im going to bet that they find inflammation without a positive identification of a causative agent.

    Trinity was a Marble Borneo Python. Some of the guys here on the east coast have been working with this morph for years now. Trinity was an outstanding example of this morph. It pains me greatly that I couldn’t figure out how to help him.

    They will call me when the results come back. These things can take some time.

    Seeing how we had so many tests performed that told us a great deal but didn’t give us the answer that I was looking for, I suspect that you are correct in your assumption, but I have this “need to know”. I guess this is my last ditch effort to figure out what exactly was wrong.

    Again, feel free to call me.

    I may have an answer for you

    Thank you for your help and concern.
