Children's pythons not eating... why??

I have 3 adult children's pythons (1.2??) and all 3 have refused every meal for the last 2 months.. I have tried rats, mice, frozen and live. they all take the food, but refuse it afterwards. not sure what is going on.

one of the females is very established and a major food hog, the other 2 were bought in dec '10, and have never really eaten well for me. I thought maybe they were in breeding mode, but thinking the male is actually 3rd female.

Housing is 20 tall for group with separate tub for feeding. Hot side is 85f with a CHE on top for extra heat. Humidity is about 50-60% with cypruss mulch for substrate..

Everything seems correct, so what am I doing wrong?
