What exactly did you mean by "very warm"?
We don't recommend using water any hotter than 86f - which should feel cool to your hand. Too high temperatures can cause neurological damage which would also match the symptoms you describe. :(

Well I didn't use 'hot' water if that's what your asking. the water was warm enough that it could keep its own warmth for a good 15 minutes without me having to empty and refill the sink constantly.
I use water thats fairly warm when trying to help some of my other snakes thru a shed and none have had ill effects.The fact that she already seemed to be struggling with something else, it didn't seem likely to me that the water would have been a issue because once she came back to her senses,she opted to stay in the water rather than escape.

She had not shown any symptoms of RI, her tub had been cleaned the day before yesterday, but shes doesn't leave bubbles, mucus or anything and her mouth is normal pink..

Same here. That was the day I learned that snakes can fart. I was cleaning tubs and out of nowhere our biggest girl started having convulsions. Scared the bejeezus out of me. After a few minutes she let out the longest, nastiest fart/shart I ever heard. After passing the gas she went back to normal and has been fine ever since.
So from what I can gather it sounds like your ball just had a stomach ache and I wouldn't worry too much unless it happens again.
