OK if she is in as bad of shape as you say - she need medical attention ASAP - you will not be able to get rid of the RI by simply raising the temps in her cage - she will need a series of anitbiotic treatments. If you cannot afford to take her to a vet (one that specializes in reptiles)- you need to give contact your local herp society and they will be able to find her someone that can take appropriate care of her. If she arrived from the breeder in this condition and it's been 4 weeks - it could already be too late so you need to act today. It's time to do what is best for the snake - if that means making payments to the vet to get her treated or give her to an appropriate home (NOT AN ANIMAL SHELTER) then that is what you must do - please don't sit around hoping this will go away that will lead to a dead snake.
