I need help i recently bought 2 borneo Short tailed pythons from a reptile show the first one died within the first week and I have been focusing on the second but I think it's going to die soon to it hasn't eaten at all i have tried feeding it twice each time he accepted the mouse and by the next morning it was regurgitated I have become aware that it has a respiratory infection by the way it sounds when it breathes it's humidity is at a constant 70-80% he has lost a lot of weight since i have had him I would really apreciate any help
Thank You in advance

Very sorry to hear about this.

The best thing you can do right now is go see a reptile vet, at any cost...

Good luck,
