oh i completely understand that, i just don't know what changes she needs though because i'm so confused on her id.. i'll be going to the vet soon to get her checked out and i'll see if the doctor can shed some light on what type of snake she is.. and once her skin clears up i'll take some pics outside and close ups of her face.. .that might help people on here try to help me id her

How did the possible RI turn out? Did the weezing go away after she shed? If she's still doing it you may want to turn her heat up a little bit. It may save you a trip to the vet...

hi.. her first vet appointment was the day after her shed, and the shed did not make the weezing go away.
she was on 2 weeks of injected antibiotics (one shot every other day) and then had a check up appoitment.. she still had weezing so she is now on another 2 weeks of injected antibiotics, and hopefully this will help.
but as of now she is still making some noise when she breathes, and she is still in a seperate room from my other snakes.

at the check up appointment the vet said that the snake was looking better though, and she still has a healthy weight.. and she ate for me last week.. so things are looking up.
i'll post another update after the next week and a half of antibiotics are over

Thanks for the update. We'll keep you in our thoughts.

Glad you had her seen and she's being treated. A boa I rescued was left untreated through at least one RI and ended up with pretty much permanent lung damage. She's now in Becky's good care and will be fine, she just must be managed properly. It's great you got on top of this quickly and hopefully she'll be just fine after treatment.

She seems to being doing well, she ate the past 2 weeks for me (which would be the first 2 times shes actually eaten since shes been here) And I finally got some PAM today, so tomorrow I'm going to get her cage taken care of.
I'm ordering her a new cage from RBI too so I can keep up better with her temps/humidity. She should have a very nice life with me, I love her so much already. Shes a very nice, docile snake considering what shes been through.

The only thing is that shes been on 3 weeks of antibiotics and she still makes some noises when she breathes, do you think this is just something she will do? I no longer notice any mucas coming out of her nose and the vet said she was looking A LOT better at her second appointment.
