My Viper Boa is sick! =o(

For the past 2 days now...that all-too-familiar "popping" sound when she breathes...and she's sneezing too. It's not helping that I'm having one heck of a time trying to balance out her tank temperature-wise...it's an aquarium so it's very tall, making it difficult to regulate with overhead heat lights. A larger undertank may be in order too.

Do you guys have any tricks or home-brewed remedies for a sneezing snake? I feel so bad...she's been sluggish the past 24 hours, moreso than normal. I am trying to raise tank temps to 85-90 to help stimulate her immune system, and I am lowering the humidity a little bit too (she has a humid hide and a pond incase she feels too dry). If you have any other ideas, please let me know.

If she isn't sounding better in a few days, a vet trip will be in order next weekend!
