Upper respiritory infection probably. Turn the heat up to 94degrees night and day and take it to the vet asap. Baytril might be too dehydrating for such a small python, so you can go to the store and use tylon. You know how to give injections? Get a cotton swab with alcohol and dab the area your going to inject. But dont do what i say, go to a vet and get a professional opinion soon.

Ive had to give injections to my adult boa once and its no fun. I think the smaller the snake the more sensitive cause` she never tried to bite me. Keep us updated on the python, and good luck.
