A cool down for a yellow tail should be VERY subtle, if at all.
these animals are from a tropical wet and dry climate. The main seasonal differences are dry and wet seasons that happen twice per year.

The main "trigger" for breeding in captivity (just like boas) seems to be the coming of the wet season.

The "rainy" season often has cooler nights. 65 at night should be ok, but I wouldn't go lower, and the daytime temps MUST get warm or you are going to lose the snake.

I have also known people who have lost yt's by cooling them too much.

Is the snake "sneezing" or wheezing? You may want to check the mouth for signs of respiratory infection.
