ok, intresting, where in your house is the warmest place he can get to? any favorites, top of a waterheater maybe? might help to keep him a bit warmer than usual, to aid the healing process. higher temp means higher metabolism. dads vet, has perscibed, upping the temps ,night and day, by 2 deg for two weeks, stop feeding too. then after two weeks return to normal. apparently, he says, excepting moderate to severe infections (mouthrot, etc) ,with mild infections and recurrances of infections, he says its better for the snake, than pumping more antibiotics into it. like us, snakes that have been repeatedly medicated with antibiotics, they develope a bit of immunity to them. The idea is that by not using antibiots, the body is forced to work harder to fight infection, hence no food, because energy is diverted from healing to digesting, and higher temps, speed the metabolism up by degree, and faster healing results. Dad has used this method for years and swears by it. Follow your vets advice, and hell be ok. :wink:
