a tracheal wash has been used for many years for taking,bacteria to be cultured from the Trachea or oropharynx of ill snakes

i believe the vet was being thorough.....

should a bacterial infection exsist,the bacteria may be a secondary symptom of another invader,such as parasites,fungus,virus,etc

i would rather have a vet that was thorough,than a vet who did nothing more than prescribe a broad range antibiotic and hope it works

re husbandry
did you ask your vet their reason for the reccomened humidity ?

i know with carpet pythons you RAISE the hot end temps by 5 degrees,to aid recovery

my answer to your question...

NO your vet is NOT stupid mate

cheers shaun
