Possible infection??

I'm new here you guys so uh, hello to everyone!

Anyway, I have a Sunglow Corn (she's my first snake) and I've been a little bit worried about her. She shed last week, and before she did, her body was pale and opaque. After though, her skin was gorgeous! But what worries me is, yesterday I had noticed that her skin was starting to dull again and her underbelly looked a little pink... She also makes little squeaking noises sometimes. I know a fair amount about snakes and I never knew they did that..Could that possibly be a cough which could mean that she has a resperatory infection? I'm really worried, so if any of you could help, that would be great :)

You need to take her to a reptile veterinarian.
Even if someone here could speculate a diagnosis for you, you would still need to take her to a vet for treatment.
