Hi, not sure if my last reply posted. I don't see it anywhere. So we took him to the vet, its a RI. He has gotten injection antibiotics, once every 72 hours and 5 injections total. So i think it is a combination of two things. Heat was a factor, i didn't realize that the basking bulb was out, there is a red night time bulb we keep on for extra heat at all times and it is quite bright. I cleaned the cage on Sunday so it must not have been out for too long. He's also pretty young still, so i dont think his immune system is completely built up, and with that and the light being out, it created the RI. The other snake doesn't have one, and the vet said she probably would have it by now considering they are housed together (not currently, until the other one is better) and she is not showing any signs or symptoms. She's also much older and has a more mature immune system. We sanitized both tanks, all the hides and water dishes. They also both have under the tank heating pads, and always have.

For the traveling, we have heating pads (for humans). we were thinking of using our adapter in the car and plugging it in and putting it on the LOW setting while we are traveling. Do you all think this would be a good idea, or no? We are going to use the suggested clear totes that lock on the handles and drill air holes in the top.
