Ensure that its enclosure has an ambient air temp of high 80's to right at 90. Still give a cool side to go but overall you want the temps up. Also raise the humidity to 85%. And most importantly, ensure that this sick snake has absolutely no contact with any other reptiles you might have. I would not even allow it in the same room as any other snakes. Hope this helps a little. Todd

Flagyl or panacur will have no effect on a respiratory infection. Takes Todd's advice and also try to locate a vet, as you may need antibiotics if the infection is advanced.
