What is the best thing for a mild respiratory infection? I am very worried and stressed that my snake is distressed because of something I probably caused. Unfortunately, we do not have a experienced exotic vet in my area so I would rather try to help him without using antibiotics since I've heard antibiotics can due damage to a snakes immune system. This is my first time dealing with this issue and I think it is due to a drafty room which I plan to fix the fluctuating temps due to the drafts with a higher quality rheostat in the near future but I do know that this is more then likely my fault and I want it cured and him comfortable ASAP. Please TRY and be easy on me since I am a beginner. Vet ASAP? Or would trying and helping him with temp and humidity changes be better then resorting to a inexperienced vet?
