I prefer to treat myself, but for RI's I would take her to the vet. This is all the more true because it (the RI) is getting worse.

With this said:

I would not mist, I would make sure the cage is very dry in fact.

I would elevate the heat to 95 degrees days and 88 at night and eleminate drafts from the AC.

You need antibotics to treat RI's. I believe the vet needs to do a culture to determine the stain of bacteria causing the infection, gram pos. gram neg???

You can try a shotgun it, but I think it isnt a good idea, by the time you may figure out the correct antibiotics the snake will be dead.
