you shouldn't be keeping two juvenile balls together when one is male and the other is female. Even worse if the male is an adult. Secondly, balls don't get colds, they get repiratory infections that should be treated seriously by a vet, especially if you do not know what to do about it. You definitely should not keep snakes together when one has a RI and your other snake that was exposed to the snake with an RI should be kept away from other snakes until you are sure she is healthy. If your snake choked on its own skin while shedding, it was so weak that is was going to die no matter what, so you could not have saved it at that point. Treat RIs very seriously in the future and you might want to check you temps and consider lowering the humidity. Generally multiple balls in the same cage is not a good practice if you can avoid it.
