My BP has an RI

I've been monitoring my ball python for the past few weeks because every now and then he would show small signs of an RI. I kicked up his temperatures and watched him for any changes, but now I'm 99% sure he has a respiratory infection. He has no bubbles or mucus, he never refuses a meal, he's not lethargic or losing weight, so I don't think it's too severe. But, every now and then I catch him wheezing or gasping for air, and he's been "yawning" more frequently since yesterday.
Does anyone have any recommendations on how I can treat this, or should I just go straight to a vet?

If you think it's a RI it's time for a vet.
