I keep my babies in the same room as my adults. I have my have dropped the temps in the snake room preparing for the upcoming breeding season. The babies are in heated racks. So for the past 3 weeks two of my baby boas on the bottom rack have not ate their live hopper mice. I took the boas out right away and noticed they both were raspy. One of which does not flicker its tongue much. I immediately turned up the heat a few degrees (to 91 on hot spot) and moved them from bottom of the rack. Here I am a few weeks later and they still have not ate and still seem kinda raspy. They are babies born in AUG and I do not want them to lose too much body weight, since they do not have much to lose in the 1st place. I believe they have or are getting respiratory infection.
I have treated RI on adults but never babies. What do you guys recommend I use?
Thanks for your replies
