Thank you! Most snakes will display neuro issues in their last hours even if they don't have IBD.
OP I am very sorry for your loss, but it's likely that your snake was sick when you purchased it, and there's nothing you could have done. Big box pet shops often have bad husbandry practices, including co-habitating animals, not providing appropriate heat, etc.
As for quarantine, simply keeping your animals in different habitats isn't enough. There are multiple threads here on how to properly QT your animals if you do a search.
If you want to get another snake, I would suggest thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the enclosure this one was in, wait a few weeks, and buy one from a local breeder. You will end up with a healthy animal at a much better price than you'd find at a pet store.
