Respiratory Infection, or Not?

I have a 3 and a half year old corn snake, and he sounds like he is getting or has a respiratory infection. He is wheezing slightly, and I can hear him "sniffing," especially when he is active. There has been no drooling or open mouth breathing. He is not acting sluggish, lethargic, or irritable, and he ate his normal amount with normal enthusiasm just today. My other snake had a minor respiratory infection a couple of months ago, which was taken care of very quickly with antibiotics, but I fear it still may have spread to my younger snake. Should I schedule an appointment with the vet, or should I wait until he develops more concerning symptoms?
