Your snake has a rather serious respiratory infection. Get it to a vet.

Hate to say it, but 90% of the time, it's improper care. Make sure your temps and humidity are where they need to be - low 80s cool end, 90-92 high end, humidity around 60%. How long have you had your BP, and when did this start happening?

Definately get it to a vet ASAP. infections like that arent something that you want to wait around to " see if it'll get better in time" .
Hope all goes well at the vets...also, you should let the vet know how your animal is being housed , diet, feed and shed records ( if you have them...hopefully ) ...all those things will help him/her inform you of how to better care for your animal and it may also be able to help them identify what caused the problem in the first place.
Just some advice and personal opinions.

Akmost definitely a respiratory infection. In the meantime, until your vet visit, jack the heat right up! This is absolutely critical! This will help the meds work quicker and stop the infection from getting much worse. But get to a vet ASAP!

Good luck, I've been through that. I recently had one girl in the same spot, found out her cage wasn't heating right for a couple days and boom, go to feed her and wheezing and bubbles. Grrrrrrrr.

So what about the low temps causes RIs?

Their bodies are designed to work best at a certain temperature range. When they go outside of that for an extended period of time it shouldn't be surprising that they're more apt to get sick because they aren't working at peak efficency.
I doubt it's a guarentee that your ball will get a RI if it's too cool for a few days but i'm sure it dramatically increases the chances of it happening.

When you jack the temps up be sure not to put them to high because to hot is bad for them to, if it is to hot they can get thermal burns which will put more stress on the snake and will not help make the RI go away it might make it worse.

I agree with Sid, temps should never go above 95F
