I was told by both Internet (I know) articles and my VET (I know) to let my BP with an RI inhale a tiny drop of tea tree oil mixed with water as a tank mist, making sure not to touch his body or water dish while spraying. I did this twice. Now from this forum I know better. Thing is, I keep forgetting (well, once) to get rid of the diluted tea tree mister so I grabbed that instead of the pure water mister. (I know it's stupid; i have been very tired and it won't happen again.
articles i have read are mixed and unhelpful. I'm exhausted and it's late but I guess I should start wiping down his tank and decor ... the only thing that stopped me from completely stripping his tank the second I realized what happened is that the first time it almost did seem to help a bit. Albeit not for long. , and it was literally less than a quarter teaspoon of tto poured into about a half liter of water.
I am sorry to keep bothering you guys and I know your stance on "alternative" medication. I mixed this bottle before I knew better. I will clean it out of his tank now but I'm interested in how dangerous that was, and if I should warn my friends who keep snakes. Not everyone knows this forum exists, unfortunately.
