Is my vet stupid?
Took Walter, the 12 year old ball python to the vet on Wednesday for his RI. The vet looked him over, listened to his lungs and said "Well he has some sort of respiratory issue. He has a lot of mucous in his mouth but it sounds lower in his lung so we need to do a trans-tracheal flush (fill his lungs with water and flush it out) to do a culture. But we don't do that here." She then went on to tell me how he NEEDS a BASKING LAMP and humidity only needs to be at 50%. I'm never bringing one of my snakes there again, seeing as this was supposed to be the "snake expert".
