RI advice
Looks like one of my females has RI, she is wheezing but no bubbling. Im pretty sure I know what the cause is, there was an unnoticed mishap with some heating tape and her tub in the rack and it hasnt been properly heated for awhile, not sure exactly how long but its not longer than 2 weeks. The problem is fixed now though and she is getting proper heat. My quuesiton is that I cant get into the vet for a few days, Im obviously concerned for her, is there anything I can do in the mean time?

Re: RI advice
Bump her Temps up, and boost humidity, keep her enclosure super clean.. And get to a vet

Re: RI advice
I always thought you were supposed to lower the humidity and bump up the temps?!?!
Success is just one decision, one commitment and a whole lot of hard work away…

Re: RI advice
Yes, you DO raise the humidity. It loosens secretions and makes the snake feel better. Raise temps to 96-97 warm side and 85-87 cool side. Humidity to about 70%.
You can run a hot shower and have her in a plastic tub in the bathroom. Steaming her will help alot.

You need to BUMP both.
BUMPING humidity will help loosen up the mucus.

right but you want it to be 70% for the whole course of the treatment which could be weeks. Just remember that. 
Best of luck
