Raise the temps. 90F hot side, 80F cool side. As pointed out, snakes do not have eye-lids. If the eyes have gone cloudy then the snake is going into shed. He/she will clear up in a day or two, and in about a week shed.



That is what it SHOULD do. But I suspect yours may need a vet visit. You say it is lethargic and breathing oddly, and you have been keeping it too cold. Watch for Respitory Infection. Mucus/saliva/drool.....raspy sounds. Take snake to a vet if you suspect a RI.
