    Great picture taking skills. My bps definitely won't sit still if their mouths need to be opened.

    I'd really try to take her to a herp vet though to get a culture done. There's a possibility that Baytril may not be useful against her RI. The culture will let you know which antibiotic would be best.

    There's also the possibility that it's not an RI, so a check up could be good

    Thanks, but my brother took the pic while I held her mouth open haha. As for the culture, I'll let the reptile store take her for a week and then get one done afterwards. I haven't ever taken her in for one before, so it couldn't hurt. Its hard to find a place that actually knows what they're doing with reptiles. I called a bunch of "reptile" vets in my area today and asked them if they took care of reptiles. They all said no...even though their websites said they did. I'm having trouble finding a vet that knows what they are talking about with reptiles. I'm worried one of them will say yes and just won't say they have next to no experience with reptiles and snakes.

    Afterwards is useless unless you wait 6 months the batryl will negate the results. One week is not long enough to treat RI maybe in mammals but not in reptiles. Mucking about with antibiotics and using them improperly does more harm than good. (resistant strains of bacteria) It is one reason why batryl is not very effective at treating RI anymore there are a huge number of resistant bacteria.

    "That which does not kill us makes us stronger" Nietzsche, especially true with bacteria.
