You're misunderstood ... That's not what I said at all ... I am in no way endorsing Tylan for treating RI in ball pythons ... from everything I've read, Tylan is used for treating gram positive infections while it's pretty common knowledge that the majority of URI's in ball pythons are gram negative ... personally, I would never try it but I'm certainly willing to ask a qualified vet about it.Originally Posted by Brimstone111888
That said, I only work with Ball Pythons and I would never pretend to have any kind of knowledge about what does and doesn't work in other species.
After working with ball pythons for a very very long time ... I know one thing for sure ... If your snake is sick ... take it to an experienced reptile vet ... a culture to identify the bacteria responsible for the infection along with a full course of anti-biotics that is scientifically proven to be effective in killing that bacteria is the safest and best way for treating your snake. I'm confounded as to why anyone would want to risk the health and/or life of their animal by trying anything else.
Hope this helps.
