If you're that worried and suspect something serious, just take her to the vet.

I'd check out Greg Maxwell's web site on RI. http://www.finegtps.com/Care_sheets.html#Drug_regimen
He says that in light cases detected early that raising temps into the upper 80's and increased humidity may help, but that antibiotics work best. He has the drug regimen detailed on his web site that might help your vet out if he/she is not familiar with snakes/chondros. Hope this helps!

I have no experience with chondro's but i do know that with other species of boids that lowering the humidity is not benificial and could actually be detrimental in trying to fight a RI. When I noticed a slight RI in one of my burms I raised the temps and humidity and after a few days all was good. Todd
