No idea how he caught it. Soon after I picked him up he was making a clicking noise which I hoped was stress, but realized it was a RI.

In Italy, at least Naples, the heating system in the houses is not adequate for warming a reptile room. I cannot say how he was kept before me but he does have good body mass at 2.4 lbs. I currently have him set up with heating pads under the water container and an Enjoy radiant panel. The cage stays bewteen 85-90 on the hot side, closer to 80 on the cool side.



He is responding well to the Baytril. His nostrils have unblocked, he is more active in the day, and yesterday after the shot he took a bite at me. He gets one more shot today and will try feeding tomorrow, hopefully he will not need a second round of medicine.



Thanks for all the responses.
