Scared To Death My Snake Has IBD - My Collection?

[hoax]

The sick snake was on RepitBark, and is now on paper towels, the ReptiBark was almost brand new when she got sick, and was clean. The pet store was using HotShot to treat for mites, on a snake that I once owned (6 1/2 foot Red Tail Boa), but was not near the feeders. I checked temperatures with an analog thermo/hydro combo, 3 times daily. They had just gotten in 2 cb BP babies, one of which was just extremely tempermental, but the health of the Burm, and all the BPs are excellent as of now, I just ot off the phone with him. Also, how much would a necropsy generally cost? I figure that I would have to send her body off for it. All snakes are quarantined atm, and everything is disinfected with a 10:1 water/bleach solution. No one, literally no one, around here has ever had a problem with IBD, ever. So none of us here really know much about it, except for what I have read on the internet about it. Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

Use digital it does not cost that much and is very well worth the money you will spend. I promis you I love my digital ones. I also bought an IR temp gun and I love it payed about $50 for it but you can find them cheaper I just liked that one.

i am so very sorry to hear about your snake being sick. My thoughts will be with you and your snakes. Please keep us updated. Good luck my friend and welcome to BPnet sorry it is on such a sad note.

I plan to switch to digital once I have the money. I'm not sure what the active ingredient is, but I know a lot of people will put a strip on top of a cage to treat for mites without any adverse affects (of course only on the cage 3 days off 4). Thank you, hoax.

Hot sauce are you serious, WTF !!!!!hot sauce can cause chemical burns on skin if left on long enough. Which I am sure by default makes it dangerous to breath in. wait so they don't treat the snake with it directly or what.

Hot shot and hot sauce are usually way different in my world, maybe double read stuff before you jump into making statements

hot sauce and hot shot are definately 2 different things... when using hot shot to treat for mites, you place a strip of it on top of the cage for 3 days, off 4 days, on 3 days, off 4 days, and so on, until your mites are gone... some people will put the hot shot on for like 3 hours a day until they are gone, how effective that it is, I'm not sure. Trust me, I would never let anyone put hot sauce around a snake, or any animal for that matter.

Or you use Provent A Mite and NOT kill the animal. No-Pest strips have been known to cause neurologic disorders, seizures as well as death.

Pay a bit more and treat your snake with something proven to be safe. No-Pest strips and Hot Shot is NOT.

Provent-a-Mite didn't work with my snakes, and I was told to use the HotShot only for a 3 day cycle to keep from causing neurological disorder.

If it didn't work, you probably didn't use it correctly or continue to use it.

I've seen nothing but success when you follow the directions perfectly.

Hi,

Where did you use it in relation to the sick snake and the others who are unaffected? Did you leave the water bowls in the tanks that were being treated? How many animals/ cages did you treat?

I'm surprised to hear PAM didn't work as most people say it has been extremely effective.
