    The only thing that will get rid of a respiratory infection is a trip to the vet and a round of antibiotics.

    Upping the humidity will not cure a RI. You need to see a vet. That is the only way to get rid of it.

    Leaving your snake in this condition will just kill it slowly. Go to the vet.

    You should have them in separate enclosures either way.

    Like the others have said, vet trip.

    A trip to the vet is your only responsible option ast this point.
    Also, if you were housing them together, chances are VERY good that they are both infected so you might just want to bring them both on that trip to the vet.
