I received a 3100 Gra female that appeared healthy, and I only kept here in quarantine a week, I then house her with my Lesser to see if he'd mate....510Grams.

Well I found 1 mite in the cage (never had mites before so it caught me off guard, I cleaned the cage with Permethrin, and housed them
in my vision cage for a few days, 6 actually(was empty and clean). Well I work graveyard 6pm till 7am, and was working 6 days straight. I placed both snakes back in their original cages.

Well Friday mid Day I noticed the lesser has a little click when breathing and the female had a few bubbles. I upped the temps to 95 on High Side. Hoping thing will be ok, today Both of them are bubbling and have a repiratory infection.

The really bad part was Friday I called both Local Vets here to get Baytril or a visit, neither are herp vets, and they havent a clue about reptiles. I was gunna pay for office Visit, but Im thinkin I gotta go outta town to Lancaster, Los Angeles, Bakersfield or sumthin But I work monday, through thursday 13 hour days, dayshift.

How on Earth do I get Baytril...I know thats what they need, turns out the visiob cage temps were mid to low 70's at night(drafty cold window behind it.....my fault I know), temps were low 80's during daytime. ...... yeah i have 30 ball pythons and this was my first real screw up......wish Baytril was easy to get. I will be makin calls, maybe even takin Monday off......

I love my Ball Pythons.....Sigh.
