went from 55-60 on the first day out. days 2 and 3 were right around 70. Mid 70s on day 4, and this is the day I started noticing the issues, so I immediately went to 80. After the 4th day of temps at 80-82, the symptoms were gone literally overnight.
She is getting no calcium at this point, this is her first year to breed (maybe, might not do it now), so I have never had a need to supplement. Though I will be if I decided to breed her.
She is in a Vision rack, so no lights other than what is in the room, which is aquarium/plant flourescent.
I have to add, I agree they usually don't go away on their own, but I've had snakes over the years with obvious resp issues, come out of it with an increase in temp. Whether or not these were true RIs or just another "sickness" I can't say for sure. However, they didn't go away overnight. They got better over a little time. This one was honestly overnight.
I'm wondering if even it could have been a lodged piece of substrate, even thought the snake was not fed?
