    Considering humidity exasperates respiratory infections, I would be questioning the logic in such advice, especially from a vet lol

    I love dogs (especially shepherds and akitas) but i love angry cats! whenever we got angry cats at the vet I would constantly irritate them it was just so cute to see em hiss and spit at you.. adorable! or my favourite is when they turn their backs on you and flick their tails and grumble grumble.

    The reason is due to the fact that the drugs will have effects on kidneys (some more then others) so therefor warm baths once a day keep the python well hydrated it also gives the owner a chance to basically nebulise the snake as the humidity will act as a mucolytic which helps break down and bring up the congealed mucous which will be bacteria heaven. The expectation is that the snake will be returned to a dry warm enclosure the other 23 and half hrs of the day

    I can see advice like that after the drugs are given, however the vet said to do it "in the meantime" before the snake has seen a vet.

    Well he could be going back and getting the injections done at the vet every 48-72hrs and is in the middle of the course. but either way a sick snake will be assumed dehydrated and it certainly will be preferable to have the snake well hydrated before starting ab's.
