    respiratory infection

    This is my favorite girl here her name is Mommy (my 2 year old named her lol)


    She is having some respiratory problem, I can hear her "sneazing" in her tank. A few weeks ago her tank had a heater malfunction and she has been weazing and sneazing ever since. What do I do from here. The only vet that works with exotics is about 3 hours away, I would like to know if there is somthing I can do, if I have to make the drive I will but it would be nice if there is somthing I can do....

    What's a three hour drive for your favorite "mommy"? She should really be seen by the vet just to be on the safe side.

    RI's don't go away on there own and will kill your snake. That will be very sad for you. Take her on a three hour car ride and think of it as a road trip/bonding adventure!
