Have had quite a few confirmed cop's across the board this month.....including Pied Ball's, Spider X Pastel Ball's, Spider Balls, Albino Boas, etc. etc. We also have lots of Bearded morphs mated and producing, plus Pied Yemen Chameleons etc.

So the cold snap is here! -4C Thursday night, -2C last night.... We have been checking temps on a regular basis on the max mins, to ensure the racks and cages are not dropping too low at night. Things seem ok, but did have a couple of Ball's that started sniffling...course of Baytrill and a constant day/night temp seems to have corrected the problem.  As a rule, I would have used Marbocyl which is a more modern generation drug, but we had run out and our vet; Antony, only had Baytrill to hand on this occasion.  Seems to have done the job anyway.  This kind of thing highlights the importance of monitoring your snakes DAILY!
