I recently received a Ball Python that showed signs of a RI a week after arrival, bubbles out the nose and in mouth, hanging mouth open. My temps and humidity were spot on, but how or where she got the RI is not the point of this post. I made an appointment with the vet and got her in right away. The vet confirmed that it was indeed a RI and informed me to do the typical temp bump and to keep humidity up. She gave me needles preloaded with Tazicef (I believe this covers the same spectrum as Baytril) to be administered every three days. Nearing the end of the treatment I noticed no improvement in the snake so I purchased some F10SC and a reptifogger, made a fogging tub and put her in it everyday for 10 days at the "brian barczyk video" recommended 20/20min. (quick note: line the bottom of the fogging tub with paper towels. You want the snake to breath in the vaporized air not drink the pooled water that will develop in the tub. The paper towels absorb the condensed treated water). I think the fogging may have done some good for the snake, but did nothing to the RI. I took her back to the vet, did some more tests...bills were adding up... and then I stumbled onto the cure: Tylan 200. There is a lot of hear say and stories of Tylan in reptile forums. Ive read that it works on boas, but maybe not pythons. I am here to say it WORKS. It knocked out the RI, which was now worse, in 4 shots. I purchased the Tylan 200 on Amazon. Got the needles from my wife's work (she is an RN). With each shot i noticed immediate improvement. After the fourth shot all signs of RI were gone! I gave two more shots for good measure and it has been a few weeks now since. No sign of RI at all. Eating everything in sight. I ended up spending over $500 in vet bills and supplies to get this RI gone, but for the Tylan and some needles it cost just $50. And I have a Gigantic jar of the crap left over. Probably enough to treat a few hundred snakes, lol.

Anyway just wanted to say that Tylan worked amazing on my 200gram ball python with an RI. Hope this helps someone else!!
