    Honestly?

    Separate them into nice, appropriately sized enclosures.

    Double check all the temps, humidity etc and have a good read of the caresheet.

    well whats wrong is probably your whole set up. balls like tight,small,dark, cages thats why they do so well in rack systems. unless 82-83 is your cold side of the cage your temps are wrong by about 10 degrees! read they care sheet that dr. del linked, and search around the forums, and you will understand why your snakes are not doing good. are you also housing males and females together?
