Well, it really boils down to the vet. Is he/she familiar with reptiles? If not, i would find one that is. Your snake will survive with a very mild case of RI(if that is what it is) until you can finda vet. I wouldnt let it got 6 months or anything but a week or so should be fine as long as you keep the temps up and humidity a little up. Also when you go to the vet, there is the checkup cost which for me is $50 and then from there, the vet gives options of what he/she would like to do and the cost. For my vet, if she thinks there is a problem, she will go with a culture to start so you know what you are dealing with. Then there is a blood test if you want it to get the overall 'health' of the animal. Blood tests are expensive but are pretty comprehensive. A culture is fairly cheap, i think like $25 where i am.

First of, if i was in your shoes, i would find a vet that knows and is familiar with reptiles aka an exotic vet. Then i would take my snake in for a checkup. Like i said, it shouldnt be more than $60 for just a checkup and if the vet is familiar with reptiles, he/she can give you their advice. Then you can proceed if you got the cash, beg and cry if you dont and they might take pity lol. I know with Rosey my big boa, her sinus infection came at the worst time financially for me so i told my vet my situation and she cut me a deal and basically halved the bill for me. I do go to her for all my animals though so I'm not a walk in customer .

Bottom line, find a good exotic vet. Take the snake in for a checkup and their advice. Then proceed. Us here cant really tell you whats going on as we arent vets and we cant see the snake. As for home remedies, not worth it. It's like buying meds online and trying to administer them to your reptile, not good advice. If the vet thinks its an RI, get a culture done to find out if its bacterial, viral or fungal as well as tell you which antibiotic its most susceptible to. Then you get the fun of giving injections or if your vet is nice, they will offer to do it for you for free. My vet offered it but being Rosey is big, she was easy to give shots to. I had to give her a shot of Fortaz every other day for a month i believe. And if the vet tries to give you Baytril, try to get something else. Baytril is really strong and if not done right can do muscle damage. my vet personally doesnt like Baytril and usually prescribes something else unless it's really bad and needs something really strong.
