Could he have eaten something too hard and big to digest? A rock, a marble, a snail, some gravel...? I just tried to do some research... It seems a few people have had similar issues and every thread I looked at was basically people just saying that they're sorry and had no idea what could have definitively been the cause, and they all seemed to pass away.
I'd suggest putting him in the fridge, daily water changes... I'm sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck.

Caudata Culture Articles: Bloat
Sadly, sudden-onset bloat is usually a symptom of serious illness or organ failure. The above article has some care instructions for helping bloated animals potentially heal on their own. It also addresses the possibility of immediate vet care for antibiotic treatment. It may be a difficult decision if cost is a factor, since bloat is often not able to be successfully treated. Good luck in your choice and treatment.
