Hi I have a bumble bee ball python that developed a respiring infection and I don’t have a vet near me that will see my snake. What can I do at home to treat this?

You will not be able to treat a respiratory infection without antibiotics. You will need to get him to a vet. You may have to travel a ways to get to one. I suggest you try this clinic. It's the closest exotic vet I could find to the zip code you provided. ( https://loyalsockanimal.net/exotics/ )
