I'd have to agree with Tom about not breeding this year. Also, make sure the vet you've gone to specializes in reptiles...it's well worth it. I've had Baytril cause problems in the past, so I am reluctant to use it again. My new vet (an exotic specialist) agrees.
Lastly, I'd suggest allowing each snake to move through your hands while putting pressure on their abdomens. Basically, start from the upper 1/4 of the snake, holding it with both hands (fingers on the belly), and as it moves through your hands, see if you feel any air pockets or gas moving around as if they're bloated. This can be an indicator that they are "gulping" air, and that any problem with RI is not resolved.
Good luck!
