If at all possible you should quarantine those two snakes immediately. If not possible, I would raise your ambient room temp to 85 degrees, move the two snakes to the top most level(s) of your rack, increase their hot spot to lower 90's if possible, keep them on newspaper/paper, wash your hands after being in contact with them and monitor them for the next week. It's hard to say how far along the potential RI is. Some people have luck pulling their snakes through an early stage of RI and avoid having to use anti-biotics. Some don't and have to visit the vet. I'm not familiar with the fogger machine, but extra humidity couldn't hurt as long as you don't over do it and wind up with mold.
