    Re: Confusion on RI Treatment

    First and foremost get his heat up to the low 90's. Have the vet run a culture to find out what bacteria is causing the RI so he can prescribe the proper medication. Different bacteria react to different meds. Without this you could be wasting valuble time with the wrong medication. This should be done ASAP. As mentioned snakes only have one primitive lung and can drown from too much congestion as they cant cough it up like we do. IMO 20 degrees is very cold to ship a BP. As far as humidity I say just keep it a normal 50%. Heat is the biggest help.

    Best of luck
