I am posting this for my friend in Taiwan who does not speak English. He is breeding ball pythons here in Taiwan, and has been battling RI infections running through his ball pythons. He keeps an immaculately clean enclosure, and the snakes are kept warm. He is also an ex-vet tech and knows how to handle the animals. Several of his snakes (Bumblebee, butterbee, mojave, tiger, killer bee...) have had an RI for almost six months. They are not eating on their own, and he has tried different antibiotic treatments (Baytril, ceph., fotaz) but none are working. He cannot find a good herp vet here in Taiwan, and with limited English, is having trouble finding info for other possible remedies.

Can you please help him with any suggestions of other antibiotics or remedies that have proven helpful? Many, many thanks. He has already lost a few snakes and he is panicked to save the rest
