By your description, it it highly suspicious for a respiratory infection. You will need to have Walter examined by your veterinarian or an experienced herp vet for a definitive diagnosis. Antibiotics are usually required for treatment. You can also raise tank and water temps by about 5-10 degrees F to aid in recovery.
