GET HIM AWAY FROM THE OTHER SNAKE(S)!!!!!!
it sounds like he has a RI (respiratory infection)
he needs to go to a vet & get antibiotics...if not, he could die.
its likely that the temps are too low...try raising the temps...that may help...but he needs to get to a vet immediately.
RI in reptiles is really serious!!!
