Hi,
I am new to the ball python hobby (and this is my first entry on a forum), but my husband and I have had snakes for a long time. One of my ball pythons got an RI after the stress of shipping, etc. and we took her straight to the vet. These guys can die from RIs. I've read all over that increasing heat to 85-90 degrees helps their immune response, but if you have an expensive morph, or beloved pet, I'd get it in for antibiotics to avoid a loss.

Any experienced breeders/hobbyists have suggestions, or comments about taking to the vet first thing?

Good luck,
Jessica
