I'm glad I ran into you again. I come to kingsnake less and less nowadays as I have responsibilities elsewhere.
When this behavior is seen in association with respiratory problems, it is often of a deeper nature and there may not be an "upper respiratory" infection to cause any wheezing or produce any visible discharges.

This may be an explaination if she doesn't turn around completely with the higher temps. Keep doing what you are doing though, watch closely, record weight and appetite and when she's showing symptoms. Also work on that humidity. A misting system is awesome, but in the mean time you can get a pump hand sprayer from 5-25 dollars.
