Ri

[imhumpty]

up, bump them up. if I deal with an RI I generally push my humidity to 70-75 and my hotspot to 93ish, and my ambient temps to 82, not out of control hot or uncomfortable.

a culture is something the vet will do with your snake to determine the type of RI it is if it indeed a respiratory infection. They can be bacterial, fungal or viral so its wise to determine what you are dealing with in order to treat it, as a fungal or viral infection cannot be helped with antibiotics.

A lot of vets just assume they are bacterial and treat accordingly, and in general they usually are, but its always better to be safe.



Do you see any bubbles coming from your snake's mouth or nose?

No, she just shed a few days ago and I just fed her and after she ate I heard the sound, so I just kept on looking at her and heard it so I took her out of the tub I use to feed her and held and no sounds coming from her, but I put her back in the tub and I heard the sound again so I called the exotic vet and made the appointment they asked me if she was breathing from the mouth or see any bubbles coming from her nose or mouth and I don't at all. She was very active as usual when I handle her and I put her back in her tank and she went to her hide like she always does after she eats.
