Ceftazidime is a newer antibiotic as we know from human medicine bacteria become resistant to antibiotics and they need to be changed up fairly often to be effective. The treatment systems vets typically use are broad spectrum antibiotics where they are guessing and hoping that it will work on the particular bug. Pointed ones where the exact bug is tested and known and an exact match to best combat it can be found. It is best to know thine enemy.

Never be self conscious about asking questions! Do not regret that you failed to ask something when you should have. Multiple sources too don't just blindly take my or anyone else's word for something back it up with a second and third source.

Good luck with your snake! Make sure you trace down the possible issues that may or may not have made the RI appear in the first place as well.
Isildur (the snake) had to of already been sick, just when we bought him showed no signs...2 days later he was slobbering. I will add some good news our juveniles (which are on the antibiotic as well) have almost cleared up. 1 more shot. (Knocks on wood) I did contact the vet today and he is supposed to be in tomorrow so we can talk.

To our vet.. we have 3 snakes that see vets. 1 I didn't know about Because he doesn't post it. The other two post it but take in ALOT of money off of it. The one I see now I have never liked and never will. The other, I tried to steer clear Because of horror stories I heard about them...

I have been reviewing all the info everyone gave me throught all the post along with my current vets notes and I will present it to him in person if I can Ans go from there.. thank You everyone!
