    Dead snake!!

    Just went into the room I was keeping quarantined snakes. They both had RI. I guess it was too far along. Even with treatment she died today. She was a 3000gram female. Its a sad day here.

    I'm sorry - was this the same one that you noticed being sick just a week ago?

    Yes it is. I went to a vet and got medication and she looked like she was getting better. Then she just died. I picked her up and a bunch of fluid came out. So now im going into sterilize everything mode

    Sorry for your loss. Will you be getting a necro done just to make sure she died of the RI and not another unknown illness/disease?

    Those of you with more knowledge/experience please feel free to chime in.

    Respiratory infections are not "caused" by environmental conditions. They are caused by a virus or possibly a bacterial infection. Poor husbandry depresses a snake's immune system and makes it more vulnerable to infection.

    The OP said that the snake was in quarantine, so it was a new animal that most likely arrived with the bug on board. By following good practices and keeping the snake quarantined, he most likely saved his entire collection from illness and/or death, not to mention himself from budget busting vet bills.

    My condolences to the OP, but you should also know you've done extremely well by your current animals.
