Reptile Dysfunction
Re: traveling for 4 days, advice on keeping while traveling
No, we did not get Baytril, yes, we did get a culture done. We got a military discount, which is why we got a break on our bill. Not that the cost of that matters in the proper care of a vet visit.
Actually it does make sense. Both snakes were housed together, thus they were both exposed to the same things, at the same times. Similar to a common cold in a human. Say you have two kids, a wife and husband in one home. Both kids, which are younger than the adults get the cold, kid A gave it to kid B. Low and behold dad gets the cold, but although mom and dad share a bed(habitat), mom doesn't get it. She may have been exposed to it before and had it, she may have a stronger immune system, thus she doesn't get the cold.
Considering our other snake is not showing signs or symptoms (even today two days later from discovering the RI in the other), and the one that is, is in the advanced stages of the RI, meaning its been there for awhile, our big snake was exposed and it was not noticed, the chances are she will be OK. Obviously i am taking precautionary measures and watching her. I'm failing to see what this all has to do with traveling advice, which is what this post is referring to?
Yes they have thermostat regulators, yes they have light timers, yes their tanks are cleaned and their water dishes are sanitized once a week, yes i spot clean, yes i change bedding every 2-3 months. Yes i am human and may not have seen a burnt out bulb, but fixed it the second i saw it was out. I did the right thing by my snake and sought help. Housing the snakes together is a matter of personal opinion and preference. None of which i inquired about on this post. They have been housed together for nearly 2 years and this is the one and only issue that we have ever had. They eat regularly, do not show signs of stress, regular bowel and urination movements, etc. With that said, they will continue to be housed together, because they are our snakes and its our choice to do so. Again, I wasn't asking for housing advice, i was asking for traveling advice.
