    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have a situation with 2 boas sent to me with RI mouth rot and mites.. pretty bad situation all around, anyways the mouth rot has been drastically improved and i think will be gone with a few more weeks treatment.. mites gone as well. RI is on its way out.. ambient temps 80-85 hot spot 93ish. i have been administering all the necessary treatment for everything but i have noticed the male has a swollen throat that seems to go up and down but has lately been a little more swollen.. it is not fluid in his throat from the RI, it is the actual tissue swelling.. i am not sure if he might be having a small reaction to the meds or maybe it is another symptom of the RI that i am not aware of. it just seems odd to me that the fluid in his mouth is less and less every day and the swelling stays and maybe has slightly increased. i searched for other pics of ill animals but couldnt come up with much. any thoughts? thanks,

Alberto
 
If the swelling has started to subside then I wouldn't worry about it to much.

Swelling can be a cause of a number of things but more then likely yes it's because the RI and mouth rot infections were that bad. Same as a human getting a cold /flu and our glands and tissues swelling.

Great to hear they're on the road to recovery.
