A couple weeks ago I found a lesser genetic stripe in LLL reptiles that I loved so I brought him home. He was acting a bit funny but I figured it was just stress from a new home. He was refusing food and he kept "peeing" a brown liquid. I seeked help and I was told he could be dehydrated and to soak him regularly. So I did. Well last night after his soak I took him out and he was really lethargic. A few moments later he started doing this weird movement where he would curl up and make a kink his body then move the kink to to his head and then open his mouth and make a gurgling sound, and some thick mucous would come out. I knew that it had to be a respiratory infection so I quickly got my things together to bring him to a vet. But within 10 minute my big boy was dead :/
I did everything I could and I feel like I did everything right when it came to care for him. He showed no signs of a respiratory infection before last night. I own 5 other bp's and they're all extremely healthy. What did I do wrong???


I'd like some help and advice for if this ever happens again in the future. I don't want to lose another snake.
