I've had a few kings get that weezy sound when they breathe before. First thing to do is clean the enclosure frequently. Aspen shavings can be a little dusty, so paper towels aren't a bad idea when this happens. I would put a tupperware hide in there with moist (not soaking wet) sphagnum moss. Put the hole on top. If it gets worse take the moist hide out, but I think it's good to give them the option. It's my belief that they can get a dry lung condition.
Also you want to make sure the snake gets good ventilation. Open up the doors/windows to let fresh air in that room at least once a day, and obviously the tub or cage should have adequate holes for air exchange. Sounds like he'll be fine.
