    Wait to breed her and get her isolated asap just incase and disinfect her cage/tub. Remove the pine and see if that helps if she's not better either take her to the vets or kill her off. I'd kill her off as I wouldn't want to feed her babies of my snakes if she was medicated( also vet visits cost more $$ then just getting a replacement when it comes to feeders).

    I would switch the bedding, its probably the pine that causing her to sneeze.

    i would say that it is more than likely the dust from the new bedding has not settled yet and that at times can cause them to sneeze.
