    Thumbs up Re: Pink Belly: About to shed or something worse?

He swabbed her mouth as he was looking for IBD, but said she definitely has an infection. The Keflex is apparently something new that vets are using with some success.

    I asked about soaking, and he recommended it, just letting her have a bowl big enough to soak in. I did give her a bigger bowl, which has upped the humidity too, I think a bit too high, but that's ok for shedding anyway. I'll probably switch it back after she sheds.

    I also asked him about taking her out in the sun, and he did recommend it. In fact he believes it is good for all of our snakes to get out in the UV once in a while. So I think while the weather is good I'll be taking her and the rest of them, (not at the same time) out for some sun. I took the whole gang out on the weekend, and it was a blast. I got some great pictures which I'll try to post tonight.
    Phew!!! My snake is like being treated for Respritary and blood infection and he has a pink belly and clouded sort of eyes so this is a real relief!! ANY advice welcome
