    Is respiratory infection a airborne bacteria?

    I have a bp tht might have RI and i know it can be transmitted through contact and sharing of water bowls, but can it be a airborne infection? because the snake that looks like she has it it in a snake rack in the room with my other reptiles, and its going to be sort of difficult to isolate her, but i can if absoultly nessesary. I will be bringing her to the vet but the earliest day i can do so is saturday.

    I would recommend isolating her until a vet can confirm or deny the presence of infection.

    I agree with Skiploader. If you are able to, you would prefer one vet bill over 10... and having to care for that many RIs sounds pretty sucky.... especially if it can be easily prevented. I hope your lil lady gets to feeling better quick!
