Hi Jiffy
This board gets its share of nastiness...mostly "post & run" stuff....thank goodness this room is monitored so we can get the downright mean posts deleted...but most importantly there is a mutual respect for each other here that you don't find on other boards. We can let our opinions be known or share information. anecdotes, without having to worry about being ripped to shreds or put down! Same thing occurs at the Boa Forum..Ive had some guys email me personally and correct me...vs making me look like a complete idiot online (which is frequent)! Class acts!

Now on to: Pedialyte and Gatorade baths yep Ive heard of it & done it. Water absorbed by the cloaca, if they aren't drinking the bath water. Gatorade has more sugar..which may not be overall terrific for Ig...but its ok in a pinch.Pedialyte in syringe ok too from what I understand but Im always afraid of doing that syringe thing(resp. infections,aspirating)...have squirted water via a spray bottle to give a couplea drinks to my igs.
Good things snakes at least DRINK when they're thirsty huh!! Igs don't! They're weird!(THAT was just MY opinion...lol)...Come back and visit us!
