i dont know much about garters but with respiratory infections in corns its a good idea to make the enclosure as steamy as possible a very humid enviroment will help to loosen any mucus that is stuck in its respiratory tract. as for the burn/wound wash it thoroughly in warm salt water, keep it clean and change its substrate every day. i wouldnt bother with neosporin. salt is a better more natural antiseptic to use with snakes unless you can get something from a vets.
good luck with making him better.
