You are doing things right. You may want to see if you can get the humidity up without it being wet in the tub. That is the real trick. If you can keep your humidity up all year round you will get rid of 99% of ri's in bp's. Some people spray their animals with water, others reduce ventilation, but humidity is much more important than I think most people realize. It is so common for people to think that Africa is dry and sandy but balls come from grass lands near the ocean and other large bodies of water.

It is a good sign that your snake did not have a really advanced infection or you would have heard her weezing and she would have had fluid coming out of the mouth. The baytril is good stuff, old school, reliable. If it does not solve the problem there are newer, stronger antibiotics that can be used next. Good luck and big thing, dont freak out. If you are going to keep a bunch of snakes you have to get used to handling their health concerns. You will get through it. E
