You need to get to a vet that can do a culture to find out if it's bacterial or viral. If it's bacterial you can get meds to clear it up. If it's viral there's no cure.
What kind of stuff are you giving this snake? How do you know it's OKAY inside a snake's metabolism? How do you know if these compounds aren't doing more damage?
Also, I'd raise all your temps and humidity. In general, your 78 cool side is far too low. I keep my ball pythons hot. 96 hot spot. cool side mid to high 80's and this is ALL the time.
