I'm not sure what the question is....
but I suggest taking the snake back to the store. She/he was probably sick when you bought him/her.

The snake may have been sick when you got him. Or he might have had a reaction to something you used in cleaning the terrarium. Reptiles in general are not easy pets to care for. They have very special needs and if anything is wrong with thier enviroment they wont survive. Call the pet store and ask them if they have a return policy.

I had a baby ball python that died after two weeks. I had noticed that it wasn't eating the mice and tried different types/sizes/ages of mice but nothing. The vet told me that sometimes snakes will respond negatively to being taken from their environment. (like taking it away from the pet store it's been in for however long and the other snakes it shared the tank with) It wouldn't eat becase it was...well...homesick.
Maybe your snake was just unable to adjust to the new environment.
