Thanks, I absolutely was planning to finish the medication after the symptoms dissapear and as the vet suggested I will probably extend the treatment for an extra two weeks just to be sure the infection is entirely gone. The antibiotics are only 8 or 9 bucks which is definately worth the extra piece of mind that the infection is wiped out in my opinion. I have checked temps and humidity in the cage and kept a daily log of these and all other details involving bodhi from the moment she came home with me. So I am pretty confident that nothing I did was responsible for this trouble. The only thing that I can figure is that stress form the move and new cage could have worsened an already existing problem, but like I said I am doing every thing I can to treat this and other than the URI, which of course is huge, the snake is in great shape and has a wonderful temperament. Thanks for your help, the main reason I posted in the first place was because a guy who's knowlege I trust kind of turned me off of antibiotics due to bad experiences in of his in the past. I do have one more question though, is it possible for humidity to be too high? I have never heard it said, just wondering, mine is always between 40-70%, usually around 55. Thanks again. I will keep you posted.
