You NEED to get this snake to the vet ASAP. It is in need of medication (injections). Until you can get him there, I would raise the temperature a few degrees, but with symptoms like that the snake is not going to make it very long without a vets help.

those symptoms are signs of a respiratory infection and must be treated with antibiotics if it has progressed that much. If the price of keeping an animal is too much then perhaps it isn't the best idea to keep one. Not trying to sound rash but that's just how it is. Finding a herp vet is the most often over looked aspect of owning a reptile but it is one of the most important.
