how big it the retic, my girl is about 8ft and makes alot of noise when she breathes with the other snakes try to up there cage temp for a little bit that might help dry our any little RI before it gets really bad.

shes about 6ft im not too worried about her now she seems fine its just the other 2 ive upped the temps in the burm and corns vivs and even the room temp. Were coming into winter now mayby they caught it from being to cold out the vivs?

dont know, keep the temp up for a while and keep a close eye on them if you start seeing stuff come out there nose they have RI and need to go to the vet.

Isis is 2 and cleo is 1 i dont have any lights in there cages just the light that comes from the window.

i would try keeping the lights off its now like they need it and it might keep her for being so jumpy.

Did you quarantine the retic when you got it? It sounds like it could have brought something into the house?

i quarantined her but gonna be extra careful with all the stuff i used for all the snakes. the burm and corn are sounding and behaving alot better already from the temps goin up so fingers crossed everything will be ok . thanks for ur help
