Could it be blistering disease?

I have a 4 yr old female bp. She hasn't been acting herself the past couple days, very active in the daytime. Yesterday as she was going up the front of her enclosure I noticed that her belly looked dark in spots. I took her out and there were redish specks kind of all over. It doesn't really look like blisters and her enclosure is not unsanitary or damp but from what I have read it kind of sounds like blistering disease. I am no expert on snakes. I bought one for my son 5 yrs ago and bought her for myself a year later. Do any of you with more experience have any suggestions? I have been putting triple antibiotic ointment on her belly and she does seem a little more comfortable tonight. If it doesn't look any better I will take her to the vet tomorrow but I would love some imput from all of you experts out there.

Thanks, Cindy
