lol I like how that works, say something rude but it makes it all better by saying not to be rude. Well this is why children shouldn't argue with adults when they give them advise but don't like it.....not to be rude.

Re: Need tips for dealing with ri(respiratory infection)!!!
Amazing how you did not include the rest of the sentence. In it includes how I said "not to be rude" to other breeders, not Don. I am in no way saying I know everything, I have only been really involved for 2 years, but people keep throwing in their 2 cents that is just no use, and it feels as though everyone is trying to ridicule one another, and I feel you are not responding to my questions like I would like? Sorry everyone for the misconception, please forgive me for any harm, hard feelings, or tensions I may have made with any of you.

High heat, low humidity. I have been to several herp vets, and all say the same thing. They say that keeping the water in the enclosure with the animal is not recommended as well. Offer the animal water in a small drinking dish multiple times daily, to ensure that the animal stays well hydrated. Baytril is your antibiotic that you will want to get. You must keep the animal well hydrated when administering baytril, as it tends to dehydrate them. Here is a great site that my help you out regarding the use of baytril, and they also sell it on their site(very hard to come across).

First link is the store, where you can purchase the baytril.
The second link is regarding baytril dosing.
Since you haven't dealt with RI like this before though, you really need to take that animal to the vet.
Hope that helps a little.

a couple of questions
first - I have a nebulizer from when the boy was little,
what would you recommend I use to treat a snake with an RI?
I've only ever used albuteral in it.
second - let's say one of my snakes gets an RI, would it be
prudent of me to treat them all? I only have a dozen snakes, after all.
especially if it happened right now, in the middle of breeding season.
my albino male has been in with 3 females in the past two months. if
he came up with an RI should I treat him and all the females he's been exposed to?
I work from home, so it wouldn't be a big deal.
thank you
