I don't think those collareds that are probably already very dehydrated and thin can tolerate higher end temps, and probably not even bugs.

You do need to create a temp gradient from the upper 80s to 90 with a basking surface temp in the 100-105 range. Then you either need to see a vet or you can try soaking the two bad ones in a shallow container of warm water (no higher than their arm pits) and see if they drink, or try dripping water from a dropper on to their noses and see if they lap. Once you get the temps worked out and get them hydrated, they will probably start eating.

Are these wild caught or captive bred?
