Posted by: HighEndHerpsInc at Sun Jul 30 00:04:08 2006 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by HighEndHerpsInc ] I don't want this to escalate into a big tear down, drag out forum fight, but, respectively,.. I agree with Kelly on this one. If this is in fact an RI, and if it is in fact bacterial in nature (needs to be verified by a culture performed by a vet before ANY measures are taken) then the worst things one can do is lower the humidity. The reason for this is quite simple and fundamental. If the snakes lungs and trachea are filled with phlegm and/or fluid you don't want this to thicken due to evaporation due to low humidity. The snake must expell this fluid eventually in order to clear its lungs of it. It can't simply reabsorb them through its lung membranes. And if the fluid/phlegm thickens due to evaporation then it can and will clog the relatively narrow trachea and the snake will certainly die of asphyxiation. | ||
