Hello,
I have a 4 month old male Ball Python who is showing EARLY signs of an R.I. He has a little extra spit in his mouth and a little clicking noise. I checked the heat pad to see if maybe the heat source wasn't hot enough, and the heat pad was barely hot! I bought a new one and now the heat pad is normal. I think this was the cause. So my question is, how have you guys treated an R.I.? Since the symptoms are early, I would prefer not to take him to the vet since it's expensive, any ideas? THANKS!
