I can't bear to look at the video, but I hope your snake is okay.

Great looking snake, hope he takes well to the treatment.
Make sure to up the heat in his tank across the board by about 5degress in the colder months. Are you using under the tank heaters with thermostats? I run around 95degrees on the hot end and 85degrees on the cold end in the Winter.
Additional treatment could include
- buying a large enough plastic container w/lid. Drill a bunch of small holes in the lid for air flow
- buy a oil diffuser, vix vapor rub and eucalyptus oil
- mix a few drops of the eucalyptus oil with a bit of vapor rub in the water in the diffuser
- place your snake in the plastic bin and close the lid
- set it up so the vapors from the diffuser can fill the plastic bin that your snake is in
- you can smoke him out for 5min to start and work up to 10min treating daily
- I took a fish tank cleaner tube, taped it around the diffuser opening and then ran the tube with the opposite end on top of the one of the holes that I drilled on the plastic lid. This allowed for a solid transfer of vapors from diffuser to treatment chamber.Jimmy Robinson

haha thank you for not making me sound like a fool. Watch the video first dum dum, right?. Once you turned towards the smoke house, I was like jeeeeze I'm an idiot
GREAT informative video. By far the best I've come across when I was searching around to treat my snake for an RI. I've never heard of that antibiotic nor the liquid you've used.
What lead you to believe your snake had a RI? Wheezing? Severely lethargic? Wouldn't eat?Jimmy Robinson

Better but you know snakes heal slowly cause of their slow metabolism
