I've never heard mine sneeze - but she did go through a phase once of opening her mouth at me a bit (but not hissing) when I went toward her in her viv.

Does she do it often? Or maybe if she's burrowing through the soil she might have got a bit stuck in her nostrils and sneezes to get it out?

With an RI (in snakes in general) they usually exhibit some other signs as well, like mucousy mouth and nostrils and may sound wheezy. This is what I have read on the various boa and ball python forums - luckily I haven't had to deal with it myself.

I hope she's OK, you said you'd taken her to the vet so hopefully it isn't anything.
