Dave,



I am by very far not an expert on the subject as this is in fact my first experience with RI. Basically I'm going by what my vet sais (well the stuff I agree with anyways). He doesnt seem to have experience with short tails however and was giving me some housing advice that was wrong. I'm still very concerned about my snakes as well. They seem to be feeling better, as they are more active and also more resistant to mouth cleaning etc. How long will it be til I see visible results tho. One of their mouths started becoming plauged with nuercrotic (sp?) tissue after the injections. I seem to have countered that, but her mouth pains me to look at. She has swollen gums, one of her big fangs is immmobile, and her teeth are falling out. At first with the neurcrotic tissue her mouth looked worse, but its now back to about what it was when the injections started. Ive been cleaning her mouth out with peroxide twice a day and then applying neosporin to gums (my vet advised against the neosporin, which I did, but it seems to prevent the neurcrotic tissue so I reverted back). Anyone have any advice? By all means please share.
