Temps for RI treatment in boids should be in the 90 to 92 F range with a moderate humidity of 70 to 80%. Temps above 95 for extended periods can cause other health issues, some more severe than the RI you are attempting to treat. You are correct in that fresh water needs to be made readily available as the higher heat will cause increased intake. Additionally, the majority of RI cases in snakes are caused by gram negative organisms.
