and I think it's your tubs they are in. The tops are solid, and they need more air flow like the one in the wood structure you made. I have bins for a few, and what I did, was screened the top. That's all I suggest. :-D if it's just temp, then maybe quarantine that one in a better air flow environment see if that helps.

I was thinking that but wasn't sure. But that seems like that's what she has. Thanks for your help.

Do something about that soon, either euth or antibiotics. It is contagious to your other rats.

Rodent RI is not contagious to your snakes. Kinda like how we can't give our dogs our colds/flu. She will be fine as food whether or not you freeze her.
