Has your snake ever had a respiratory infection? Poll

Scarring ??

I made the mistake of slightly lowering my temps in winter, out of many ball pythons: my oldest (he was a retired breeder when I got him) was the only snake to develop a respiratory infection. Took him to the vet, got injectable antibiotics-did nothing--his infection spread to his sinuses--another injection of a different antibiotic-did nothing-sinuses got worse--massive swelling. Vet strongly recommended euthanasia. I told the Vet I would give him a bit more time (as antibiotics do nothing beneficial for a viral infection). He did fight the infection off after 6 months, he looks and sounds pretty rough (due to scarring) and for sure you won't be seeing any glamour photos of him, but, the infection was about 11 years ago.
