Quote: I have the tank temp up to 84, and humidity at 45. The humidity being 45% is acceptable inder normal everyday conditions...But what do you mean that you "have the tank temp up to 84"???
80 - 84 degrees should be the cool-side temp!!! The warm-side should be 90 - 94 degrees. And with a BP having a RI...You should bump the temps up to 87 cool and 97 warm. |

And then click on "View All My Videos" on the right. Then click on the video "BP with RI" Does it sound anything like that? |

You should get him/her checked out every so often anyway. |

I feel bad. Like one of those stupid people who buy a pet before they know anything about it. I swore I’d never do that. I’ve always wanted a snake but I just didn’t think I’d ever be able to get one in a million years. And then we went in the petstore and i was looking at them and my mom finally cracked. Out of now where. And it was one of those... do it now before she changes her mind things. I still think I’m doing alright.... just I’ll make sure I get him an appointment asap and keep my eye on him. I’ve had him out for an hour now and I haven’t heard anything so... Maybe I’m just being paraniod, but I’ll still get him a check up. |

Quote: I have a new female BP and she has a respiratory infection but I can’t get into a vet for 2wks is there anything I can do until then? I have the tank temp up to 84, and humidity at 45. now what. Thank you for any info ahead of time.
I am biting my tongue here. But if you have had improper husbandry, then yes, you need to correct that and get your snake taken care of. The temps and humidity is sufficient to have caused the RI. And not seeing your set up and knowing nothing about your husbandry and handling processes... if you have one sick snake, then yes, chances are you have two sick snakes. Do you follow universal precautions and safe handling? If not... Again, I am making an assumption here, but if your husbandry is off and you did not seem aware of it, then there is a good chance you are not following stringent quarantine, handling, and sterilization processes either. RIs, can be fatal and are contagious. The snake that is sick, needs to be in strict quarantine. And if the other snake is making "noises"... then you need to get them both into the vet and have a culture done. I had a snake with a chronic RI (from 3 years of previous husbandry), he was in quarantine for a year, and eventually died due to organ failure, etc. Leaving this snake untreated can have long term health effects that will compromise his/her immune system even after treatment. You need to deal with this. |

It is appearent to me that this person (Midoripickle) not only has little clue as to what they’re doing...but don’t really care too much about their animal either. Based on the info in this thread and a few other thread that Midoripickle is involved in I can plainly see this. Midoripickle was offered 1 on 1 help from me over the phone and has yet to reply in any way... And Midoripickle has not answered any of the questions that were asked of him. Sounds pretty unwilling to help his/her snake!?! |

I PM’d the OP...And thought that was you! My confusion stems from that fact that you Hijacked the OP’s thread. |

Good point I totally missed that part. My comments were in reference to MP and not the OP. bruce |

I figured it would be a quick question that I could ask since the topic was already brought up and I kinda took over... |

I figured it would be a quick question that I could ask since the topic was already brought up and I kinda took over... You may to avoid that in the future. When someone starts a thread about something as serious as an RI, they are looking for advice as much as you are. You should repost your querie as a unique thread and move out of this one. bruce |

Just as a little corrective criticism about replies to others >> 1.No Rude Behavior, Cursing, Flaming, Naming Calling, or Racial/Religious/Political Comments. >> I myself (being new here) feel the replies to modipickle or something like that were rude and hostile to a point NOT SAYING IT WAS FROM YOU because i honestly didn’t remember that part, just that he/she was being attacked because they didn’t reply right away and that they were not 100% knowledgeable. Just all I am trying to say here is "try" to be more sensitive to how you reply to people. Thank you and I apologize if I offended or upset anyone by this response. I can take any corrective criticism as long as its corrective (you offer a suggestion/better way of doing what I did wrong). |

Quote: ...just that he/she was being attacked because they didn’t reply right away... Trust me...that wasn’t an attack. LOL!
But I was wondering why you (or so I thought it was you) weren’t replying to my message but had all the time in the world to continue posting replies in this thread and other threads. Again...Just a little Screen-Name confusion! No harm...No foul. |
