Thanks for the advice. I wouldnt treat for an RI myself, I would only raise temps prior to getting the snake to a good vet.

Just a question though?

I thought you would want to lower the overall humidity so the tub isnt a big, wet and dank petri dish for bacteria? I thought a nebulizer would be used to break up mucus and that fluids and electrolytes can be administered via tube directly to the snake to prevent dehydration.

Luckily, I've never had to deal with an RI in my snake (fingers crossed).

Hey Also, what humidity level do you normally keep your tubs, tanks set at? I run my setup with humidity levels of 45-55% and spike it up only occasionally or when a snake is in shed. I sometimes wonder if running high humidity on a regular basis may cause RI's?

Thanks.

~Alan
