I would recomend taking them to the vet ASAP if they are acting different and they are showing signs of a RI. I would also raise the overall (can't sp ambeint) temp to 90 and lower the humitity. When my snakes are acting strange, a trip to the vet never hurts and it might really be worth it. When they are looking up, is the head tilted to the side or just straight up. Also, When my girl had a RI her tounge came out very slow and the tip didn't seperate because the the muscus. If you really think they have RI an antibiotic is well worth it, at least in my opinion. Just so you know I am not a vet and these are just suggestions of what I would do. As far as IBD it is possible but I wouldn't worry yet. Maybe just move the two acting strange to another room and feed and water them last just to be safe. Also find a vet that will do a IBD test from the liver I believe. If one happens to pass (which I highly doubt) its nice to already know where you are going to take him. And if you can't take him that day put him in the refrig. not the freezer. Hope this helps.
