"Bash on"?
Who has bashed you? Do you think people have nothing better to do then sit here and type out a long reply in order to tick you off or bash you?
You DID say you were worried that the second snake would also get sick , as it is now "not eating", as well. So yes, that was part of your post. And health/dying has a lot to do with husbandry/keeping. Oftentimes it is DIRECTLY related.
So how is one to answer your question without pointing out the possible factors with husbandry? We have no crystal ball. Bloating/limpness can be a symptom of a myriad of issues. Sometimes they are simply a symptom of "dying". Without some detective work and finding some parallels no-one can even begin to make a guess.
So yes, your original question was answered as best as people could. On top of that it was pointed out what you could to to avoid the other snake going downhill.
You've had those snakes what...2 month or so? One is dead and one refusing food. Rather then telling people that they are "wrong" and you know you animals and what they like and dislike you could appreciate everyone's caring and time to answer you and maybe just think about the suggestions.
The first thing ANY experienced Ball Python keeper will tell you is to REDUCE stress if your BP refuses food. And to stop handling until they are eating well. Any handling. Despite what you read into their behavior.
You have 30+ year to cuddle them, once they are healthy, thriving and eating.
No-one posts these replies just to tick someone off or to "bash them". Most people just care about the animals.
But do as you please.
