 Hello to all!

My name is Dillan Simpson and I breed ball pythons well a week ago I decided I want 1 snake that got big so I chose a brumese I thought that would be a good starter.Well I ordered him off of lllreptile and let me tell you I wish I didn’t.When I got him out of the box he had a small case of R.I so I was wondering if I keep the temps higher like I am now well he get better cause its not a bad case of RI.I have tried to feed him 1 time and he cased the mouce around but didn’t eat wich I am not worried about.I havent held him don’t want to strees him out but since I have been raiseing the temps he has gotten a little better but I have only have had him for a week but he hasent been showing much RI sickness much any more so just wanted to get yalls help.



Thanks to all and always..............


Have a good one!

 Hello to all!

yes raising his temps will help boost his immune system and beat the RI.

when a human being gets sick, the body boost its temperature causing a fever, its not the effect of the virus in your system that causes the fever that is a common misconception. but its the way the complex human being body works. so our body’s raise our temperature because at that higher temperature our immune system and white blood cells can work harder and faster

basically its the same thing with the snake, when you raise its body temp slightly, it will help his or hers immune system greatly to perform better and to beat this RI.

 Hello to all!

You can try raising the temp. around 90-92 degrees, get the humidity up a between 70- 80%, and change water daily. Try to keep handling at a minimum at this time, burmese pythons will get an RI due to stress just as easy as they will due to exposure to cooler temps.
