    Take her to the vet.
    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

    Re: Respiratory infection

    Between now and her vet visit you can increase her low/high temps to around 83/93*F, bump up her humidity so she can expel the mucous, and clean & disinfect her tank daily.

    Re: Respiratory infection

    Do you have other reptiles? Is she quarantined away from them if so?

    1) Quarantine her ASAP
    2) Bump up her hot spot to 95. Don't let the ambient below 80.
    3) Take her to the vet and get a culture done. Do not allow the vet to prescribe you antibiotics without a culture.
