    Why saline incidentally ?

    I nebulised a tremendously weak solution of F10 ... 1:250 water years ago and that successfully sorted out a Royal with a mild RI ..

    1 Find a new vet.

    2 Do not nebulize a snake unless you are knowledgeable and actually are sure that there is an issue or in other words an official diagnosis.

    3 If the issue is severe enough chances are you will need anti-biotics which means you will need a Reputable Herp Vet that know how to do a culture, know what anti-biotics need to be prescribed and so forth.

    If he does not know how to nebulize a snake I doubt he knows much about treatment for whatever is going on either.


    As recommended above if it comes to that use F10 5ml per liter of water.

    I wouldn't trust a vet who didn't know how to run a nebulizer on simple saline solution with any animal. >_>;
