 Emergency - HELP NEEDED!!!!
O.k., so now that I have seperated all those snakes, I walked past my big male and heard this squeeking/hissing noise. This isnt the first time I heard it, I just thought it was my dog being gassy. (Im not trying to be funny) Anyway, Its probably an R I but my vet isnt open till Monday and the Emergency Vet doesnt see reptiles. I dont know what to do. Will he die? Is there anything I can do to help him get better till Monday? Something I can buy?
Also while the new rack was being built, instead of quarantining the new babies they were in the same room with him about 3 ft away. Will they catch it? They are in their own tubs also, but after I just spent that money I dont wanna see them get sick, plus they are soooo sweet, and I already just Love em. I feel so bad, I thought MOJO was being a jerk, but now I know he is sick. Since I just seperated them about a week ago, can the others be sick and me not know?? OMG I am FREAKED OUT!!! Help any one!!!

Turn the heat up on the every one that was in with the sick one to 98 on the hot spot. Wash you hands between the sick ones and the healthy ones. Don’t transfer food between cages. You can buy some terramician (spelling) at a farm feed store it’s about $11.00 and for chickens. Put a table spoon in the water. If you have the small water dishes use a tsp. Change the water in 24 hours. I leave the water out for 2 days and put the med water in for 1. We do this for 3 weeks.

Is he getting ready to shed? Sometimes a piece of shed will stay in the nostrils and produce a hiss or squeaking noise. If so, make sure the humidity is nice to help him shed. If shedding isn’t the case though please follow boasandball’s advice. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much. I am following BoasandBalls advice, But he is in full shed. So I think to keep the humidity uo I am going to put papertowels that are wet in the tub (My hubby has just helped me put him in the tub he didnt even try to bite anymore once he was out of the tub), and remove the water dish. That will help the humidity for the shed and stop him from staying in the bowl as well. What do you think? That should help huh? Hope so! I also have taken him out of the room with the other snakes because I am not sure how spreadable this is. Thanks everyone!

If you hold him in your hands, like you were holding a broom. You can feel them breath, if you feel the gurgling you will know it is RI.
Watch all the ones you had with him they might come down with it but most of the time if you catch it early you can "cook" it out of them with higher temps.
