Hi there,



I'd start with treating their enclosures with provent-a-mite. Be sure that you let the spray dry completely before you put them back in their tubs. Make sure the tubs are well ventilated.



I'd also remove any bad shed. If you soak them to do this be sure to be right there - weak snakes can drown. Give them a dose of flagyl and panacure. Repeat doseages according to label instructions.



Offer each of them a small meal (if these animals are sub adults I'd try a hopper mouse) - just one. If they eat on their own, great.



If they do not eat on their own, assist them a very small food item (fuzzy mouse), something that will go down without a big fight.



Now, give them a hide, keep them warm and moist. Make sure they have fresh water and can soak if they want. Offer them another very small meal in a few days. I offer mine food about every three days - after they start gaining strength you can increase the size of the food item a bit.



Once mine start eating I like to "exercise" them for about five minutes a day to help them gain strength.



Do not over feed or over handle!



I hope this helps!
