yah set that burm mommy to be on preheat and bake and see if keeping her warm (90-92 degrees) 24/7 doesn't curb the sniffles....you also need to kill the humidity for awhile. It's ok to raise it for short periods but for the most part should be really arid while treating an RI. Push fluids...Not all RIs require antibiotics. Some go away with dry heat ....I have found that dry heat coupled with daily warm baths works better though. Keeping the humidity high throughout an RI tends to up the mortality statistics due to the congestion breaking up too fast and drowning the snake. They aren't very good at coughing.
I would atleast contact a vet about the possibilities of using Baytril or some other antibiotic... but if you can get positive improvment with keeping the heat up 24/7 and lowering humidity...I would avoid any injections...even if the meds don't do harm, the trip to the vet in a bouncing car or the stress from the shot itsself might.
