    Ri in my BP :(

    Please don't bash me 2 of my ball pythons have got RI and I think it's due to me changing them to orchid bark.. I feel so bad they have been quarantined and are having antibiotics from the vets.. one seems to be improving. . How long will it take to go? Also is there anything else I can do to help them.. I have been sanitizing everything.. has anyone had success stories with ri?

    With antibiotics and a home remedy, it took my little girl about three weeks to fully recover. I also caught it very early.

    I've never used orchid bark but I know people who do. I had no idea they could get sick from it like that. Good luck to you. I hope they pull through.

    I always use orchid bark, never had an RI.

    OP - what are your temps, humidity? How are you measuring these?
