As said in the other thread, colds are the same thing as respiratory infection. Take him to the vet, regardless of the cost. If you can't afford it, ask to make payments, but the sooner you got the vet the better. Respiratory infection is easily fixed if caught early, if you wait too long your snake could die. By the way I would quit asking the "pet store guy" for help, is this the same guy that you got the snake from? I found very few "pet store people" that know a lot about reptiles (at least in my area), you will get a better, honest and truthful answer here on Fauna.

Eric, when you contact the vet office to make the appointment ask them what their fees are. No one here can tell you that. Fees charged vary from vet to vet and region to region. You will have to call and ask.

Also, make sure the vet you are going to is one who treats reptiles, specifically snakes.

Just like doctors specialize, vets don't treat all animals.

Get your snake more heat, more humidity and then the vet will get it on antibiotics for you. It will cost you $50-100 typically if it just has a simple respiratory infection to visit the office. Then it may require you going back for a series of injections of antibiotics which will cost you again. You sound like you may need to do some homework on the care required to keep your animal healthy. It is always best to get everything the animal needs and do things right from day one. Good luck.

If in doubt, go to a vet... It's not worth sacrificing the snakes life just on a hunch.
