First time dealing with RI

So, my juvenile ball python, Darwin, seems to have developed a RI. Loud breathing, lots of yawning, bubbles in mouth, acting weird during feedings. I am now kinda worried and not sure how to proceed. Should I go to a vet? Are there at home procedures that are recommended? What can I do in the mean time to help alleviate any symptoms. Would sitting with him in a steamed bathroom for an hour or so a day do anything? (A friend mentioned it, so I thought I'd ask about it)

Please help. I'd love some advice. Im very worried and scared for my baby.

Anyone know any herp vets in the North Tampa, Florida area?

Vet, yes
Steam, no
Fogged, can help

Antibiotics. If you feel capable IM baytril every 48hs, 6 shots, rest a week and 4 shots again. Its easy to do. I had saved lots of snakes, even a 180grms king with a severe necrotic mouth with worms with baytril. If you need more specifics pm me. Dont waste time, bacteria keeps growing.
Put the temp up a degree or two and raise the humidity a bit also.

Ok, thanks guys. I found vet in area but he cant see Darwin till tues or Wed, strying to keep him comfortable till then.

In the meantime raise his heat and humidity. If you can only do one, then raise his heat.

Ok. Thanks. Trying my best not to panic.
