Any suggestions? I raised the heat slightly as advised by the corn snake manual, and i'm wondering if fir bark might not after all be a good substrate.
Any Ideas Appreciated

Might be a good idea to switch to aspen or newspaper for substrate and see if it passes.
If it doesn't pass, a vet trip might be in order. A lot of people dread a trip to the vet, thinking it's going to cost hundreds of dollars, which for a snake is simply not the case.
Try a clean substrate, maintain a good 72 - 82 degree gradient, and see what happens.
Keep us posted. I wish you the best.

Sounds like a Respiratory infection. I suggest you take if for a lung swap to a vet. When you do ignore a RI it will die for sure. Meanwhile you could raise temps to 90 degrees day and night. This will clear the infection but not the bactery that is inside your snake. You will need antibiotics to clear it up. You will probably get a 10 prescription of Baytrill.
