Help Please help

i was heading to bed and saw julian just cruising about in his cage. I noticed he moved his hide from its spot. so i opened up to move it back and I heard him wheezing. Not looking sick at all he curiously came out and onto my hand still wheezing during every breath. More like whistling. What should I do? Please help
Im holding him right now but he's not doing it anymore.

I raised the temps to an 88-90 and he doesnt seem to be doing it anymore. It kinda sounded like his nostrils were blocked a bit but there was nothing there. He's been quite active since all day yesterday everytime I see him he's motoring around. If he continues I'm making an appointment with the vet

Actually I agree with louise's first guess... the increased activity and the wheezing/whistling sound coming from the nostrils sounds like he's getting ready to shed.

When i first got my BP he did this and i got freaked out and took him to the vet the next day, the vet said there was nothing wrong with him and he seemed to be one of the healthiest snakes he has seen in his office for a while, since i had him for about a month, i took this as a compliment, still not knowing what was wrong, i put him in his tank for the night, after the day at the vet and within the next couple nights his eyes turned blue and shed a few days later. since then he doesnt do it unless he is getting ready for shed, is his belly pink or yellowish?
