Sorry to hear the news. It sounds like the poor things were already ill when you got them.
You might try applying some plain cold liver oil to the lids with a q-tip for a few days. If he's lacking Vit A, it should help.
Since he's so small, it's unlikely that a herp vet would be able to treat the remaining baby (or want to). But I'd try to find one anyway, you never know.
Keep the remaining one warm, as recommended above (I'd even go a degree or two higher with the water temp for a while), and keep trying to get him to eat. You could try feeding him in a separate container and add some liquid vitamins to the feeding water (childrens or ones
for birds will work).
