ok so here goes my snake who was soppossed to be a male but turns out to be female has pnemonia i took her to the vet at cornell university on monday to find this out. the friday before she had a little bit of a weeze when she got stressed .like when i held longer then she wanted. was currently trying to tame her more becuse she is a little snippy. anyways i took pics of the set up and gave detailed info on the temps 90-95 hot side and 80-85 cool side. he said that she was in excellent health not dehydrated or anything like that just that she had a weeze and was breathing heavier than she should. they did a lung wash and the fluid came back cloudy so there doing a culture on it and thats why i say possible pnumonia.my question to guys is if my temps are ok why did my snake get sick?also she had a bad shed the monday before and i had to bath her to help out maybee that did it.
