Just to comment on substrates, stay away from pine and cedar. Snakes are allergic to the oils in these woods. (Aspen is ok)

Also, when dealing with RIs, dry is better than humid. Avoid soaking and misting until the infection is gone. This is what I have been told by my vet and other experts and it worked well. Just increase the temps to about 92 hot and 85 cool and see if they improve. If they are bad, take them to the vet for antibiotics.
