    Thanks for sharing your experience. I learned from my quick little Google research that eucalyptus has antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial properties. I think that is why some see it as a treatment for respiratory infections in snakes. But, this treatment has been around for a while and it's never found broad acceptance. The concern being that similar aromatic tree oils (particularly cedar) are toxic to snakes. So, it's not worth the risk. Particularly so since treatment with F10 has been found to be both safe and effective. So, I would still advise you to stop treating with eucalyptus, at least until you've consulted with your vet.
