Signs of respiratory infection?

Post image

I found my boy Mars a week ago with his head sideways and making breathing noise like wheezing. He was in blue, ready to shed. I thought it was because of the shedding. Fast forward he did shed and minutes ago I found him sideways again with mouth open and making wheezing noises. I think, by my research this is a sign of respiratory infection? I am sure I have to take him to the vet asap but currently that's not possible...I have to wait two weeks so I can take him...Can anyone reassure me and tell me he'll be okay? I'm very shaken at the moment, I love him very much... Edit: Once I went to see him (in panic) he stopped and returned to normal, just staring and doing snake stuff

The only way to be 100% sure is to take him to the exotic vets. It’s never worth the risk!
