Defenetly go to the vet if you think it is RI. I have lost 2 snakes to RI. Baytril never helped either of them to be honest. But apparently it works for some people. Of course it was both my male and female het albinos, they had gotten it becuase my power went out for a week. but yeh i took them both to the vet several times and spent well over $400 on both of them, and all the vet did was give me baytril. But NEVER ever let it get worse. TRUST me, that is the worst thing you could do because by then it will be too late.
