R.I is nothing to be taken lightly. Find a good herp vet near you and have him checked out. I had 3 snakes shipped in cold weather to me and one developed R.I and passed it to 2 others since it showed no signs at first. 1000 dollars later all 3 are now on meds from the vet. They will need 8 total visits to the vet unless i inject them myself. The vet said after the 2nd visit if i feel comfortable doing the injections he would give me the remaining 6 doses for each snake to take home and do it myself. 450 was the original vet price for the visit and 75(25 each snake for there meds)for the next 7 visits. I have no problem spending the money to insure my snakes are healthy. You should do the same or you should be in this hobby.
