Quarentine timeline "?"
So its been a week n a half since my pastel came down with RI.
He looks totally fine now. Has 3 more shots left of his antibiotics.
How long after his last shot should I wait to let him back into my snake room?
Good thing he already looks 100% better. In shed but acting normal. No weezing mucus or puffy neck.

If it was me, I'd get a swab done after his last shot. If it comes back negative, I'll give it another 1-2 months just to be safe.

I would suggest wait until he has finished his meds at a minimum. You want to make sure that the RI is completely cleared before moving him back. Just because the symptoms are gone, doesnt mean he is healthy yet.

I second this. After his meds are done, give him a week more. If he is acting 100% normal and takes a meal, I would feel safe moving him back. Mine have been finished with their meds for a bit now but they still seem less than normal. I think it depends on the strain of RI and your individual animal. Just like people with illness, some take longer than others to recover.

I have four new guys/gals in QT right now and one of them came with an RI. All four of them will remain in QT for 3 months after the last of the RI is gone. This really isn't something you want to risk spreading to your entire collection.
