Mouth not going away after treatment

[michel]

Hey ive been dealing with mouth rot in my entire collection for about just over a month now. I tried baytril for the first week i saw symptoms in 4 and i had no results so o went back to the vet and had a culture done. After one week i finally recieved the results and she said there was no results and that the bacteria must have died, so she then recomended i used gentamicin injections and that she had a similar case like mine in the past and it worked. I've now been doing gentamicin injections for almost two weeks and i havn't really noticed any improvement. Ive had a couple lose teeth while swabing the mouth with chlorhexidine 0.05%. Im going to be going to a different vet if i dont see any results by next friday but i was wondering if there is anyone who has had a similar case and what medicine was used. I have 12 of them that have symptoms. Heres a picture of one of them that is recently taken:



Heres a picture of a different snake about a month or so ago. It started like this:



Im pretty sure this orginated from too much humidity and lack of air ventilation so i added holes to each bin. Ive got about 8 in the back and 15-18 in the front and 12-15 on each side. I do not have something to tell humidity since i threw out the ones i originally had because im sure the bacteria was in there aswell and i have no idea how to disinfect it, but would anyone know of a decently good humidity gauge?

I'm sorry to hear about your ball. I can't help with the mouth rot as I don't have any experience in that area. Below is the humidity gauge I use and also a test kit I use to calibrate it. If you use this particular one, don't use the adhesive attachment that comes with it to mount the gauge. Use either small magnets or a hot glue gun.

Thanks i'm going to order a couple of those. How accurate are they?



Anyone else out there have seen a mouth rot like this? Any help would be appreciated, i'm going crazy watching my snakes suffer like this. It looks so painful and i've had a quite a few lose a couple teeth. Oh i have a question, if they are losing there teeth...will they ever grow back?

Humidity wise they they are in within 1%, when I used the test kit I did not have to calibrate. I have two IR guns (included links for those below) I just tested them before posting them. Currently the temp on my gauge is 87.4, the temp on the IR from Amazon is 87.9, and the one from Reptile Basics is 86.4, so I would consider this particular combo accurate.
