    Re: Respiratory Infection - how should I modify my enclosure?

    Thank you for the advice so far!

    Is it nornal for BPs to show signs that may seem like an RI as they begin to show signs of the shed process? The clicking breathing seems like something that would happen, but the mouth breathing concerns me.

    Back to one of my original questions - what is your opinion on the reptifogger and F10 box treatment and going to the vet this week? Her going into shed makes these signs confusing, so I’m hoping, too, the shed may get rid of her breathing issues. But I’m nervous to wait a week until after the shed to find the problems are still persisting, and I haven to tried to treat her in the meantike (other than improving husbandry).

    And if it is an RI, how should I modify her enclosure? Lower or raise humidity? Replace substrate with newspaper/paper towels and replace daily? Disinfect hides and water dish daily? Change water daily?

    I’ll definitely look into finding a UTH, temp regulators for my heat sources, and a temp gun in the meantime.

    And what you said about a proper enclosure, do you think I should transfer her to a plastic tub?

    Thanks!
