Buyers Remorse?

Aside from the snakes I already had before my wife and I started to get into snakes (for real) We first got Kenyans. Cute little almost lizard like snakes great starters. We have tried various enclosures and substrates and finally ended up with one we like but slowly one by one they will notariously get RI's on and off and eventually die. After a few vet trips we realized the cost wasn't practical. So we started researching home remedies or things we were doing wrong and started nebulizing the snakes with f10 saline and albuterol. Really didn't seem to help even with the absence of moisture except for a couple days a week.

We had as many as five and are now down too two. Our flame girl who has had on and off RI symptoms but seems to push through and our smaller dudoma male who until recently has never had symptoms but is popping ans gasping as we speak. I think we are probably dong something wrong as enigmatic as it must be . I still really like Kenyans but we won't be getting anymore or even breeding. Kind of hanging my head in shame tward husbandry of Kenyans anyways.
