I'm in complete agreement on raising temps benefits the healing process.
I'm just trying to make the point that Stomatitis is an early sign of a compromised immune system for what ever reason -- primary infection, secondary infection, pathogen, environment.
In other words, if I saw mouth rot in a boa, I would say to myself -- 1) Looks like this snake has a compromised immune system. 2) The first thing I'd consider would be if the temperatures were too low. 3) Correct the environmental issue and then treat the patient.
I'm not saying this is the way it it and that's that. I'm just contributing my thoughts on the matter. No doubt, others will have different opinions.
