strange / sick behavor?

[CoolioTiffany]

Actually, I do take offense. I rescued this snake from a family that neglected them. I was able to care and provide food for these snakes on a regular basis, something they hadn't had before. I don't believe economic status should be a pre-condition for the ownership of a pet. I was simply seeking help and guidance from fellow BP lovers, not to be chastised or talked down based on my annual income, or lack-there-of.

Don't take it as offensive, we are just trying to help you out. These people helped me out when my Kingsnake was sick with RI, and I was able to get help from my mom to help pay for the vet bill. Now, my snake is better from being on 2 weeks of medication. We are just trying to help you out as much as we can and give you advice. Right now, I would suggest raising the temps in your enclosure a few degrees to help the snake's immune system rise a bit just so it can help fight off the infection but it would not get rid of it completely. You will need antibiotics to help get rid of it, but if you cannot provide that, the death of that snake will come pretty soon. RI can get worse very quickly if not treated.
