For starters, my brother who's living with me has a Super Pastel male, who's about 3 years old. For the last week just about, he had bubbles, and mucus coming out of his mouth. So, I thought RI. I don't have time to take my brother's pets to the vet, so I had my mother take it and I paid for it. The snake is kept in my room in a rack with my fiance and I's three BPs. My mother calls from the vet, says they asked what it was kept in, what bedding, heating, etc. Pretty normal questions, until I hear the vet going on and on about how no snake should be kept without full spectrum lighting, no bedding other and newspaper or paper towels, and that a rack system should only be used by breeders because they constantly move snakes that they sell. The reasoning behind the rack thing was the most idiotic thing I've ever heard: "You can't keep the temperatures constant, and any pet should be kept in it's own separate glass enclosure." Sounds like what the pet shop guy said when he tried to sell me a 40 gallon for a 300 gram male of mine. The bedding I understood to a point, with mulch and such but not things like aspen, reptibark, etc. Anyways, without doing a culture or anything, they threw him on antibiotics for a sinus infection. My mother didn't care to get me a printout of what the name of the medicine is, the cost, etc. So when he goes back for another injection I'll have to get that. He's now in his own Rubbermaid tub until he's healthy, then back to the rack. What's everyone else's opinion on this? I for one am finding a new vet.
