RI: When To See The Vet

[Bogertophis]

went in to the snake room today and checked him out proper - still none of the listed RI symptoms and when i prompted him to his he gave me big clear hisses just like normal so here’s hoping this was all just a helicopter mum moment ��

also was going to ask - i know there are varying types of RI but is there a general, ballpark time figure for contraction? eg: “by X amount of time if Y had it then they would’ve shown symptoms by now”

No, not that I know of- and I suspect that just like humans, snakes aren't all equal when it comes to their immune system functioning. Nothing like a big clear hiss to start the day-
