Yeah, I have to watch myself on my post sometimes. I read the message boards in the mornings, usually at about 7am with my first cup of coffee. Sometimes I go back and reread things and I think, "Why the heck do I say it like that?" I think the inactivity comment came out like that. Sorry about any confusion or making myself look like a wacko!



I do agree that temps and humidity are the major husbandry issues in regards to RI. And it may not be that a keeper is practicing bad husbandry, maybe that particular snake has a higher requirement. I'm not familiar with BD, but I can't but wonder if there's a genetic component. Not necessarily from inbreeding, just a hereditary trait that makes certain snakes more susceptible to certain germs. Or, if the particular bug that is causing the RI is a fungal or viral issue that would not be responsive to antibiotics.
