Yep Liam when it means the health of a living thing I have very strong opinions about "online vetting". We see a lot of that here and on other forums. Folks that don't want to pay for vet visits so ask us to diagnose (not saying that's the situation here), folks making off the cuff medical "decisions" and stating it's definitively this or that. It's one thing to say "hey that looks like a bit of stuck shed and here's what works for me". It's quite another to state "that's no RI". If it is an RI (and I've no clue whether it is or isn't and wouldn't venture a guess) and goes untreated because of Moe's comments then that snake can lose it's life or end up with permenantly scarred lungs.

We can offer a lot of help here at BPNet but we can't, and shouldn't replace anyone's vet...at least not in my not always humble opinion.
