Well, I think you may have answered your question - your snakes are healthy, then eat bacteria-laden mice with no problem.
It is possible that the snakes were fed bacteria-laden mice and were kept in poor conditions from the previous owner, who place was later raided for drugs. Then the snakes may have been additionaly stressed by the move, all having an impact on their immune systems.
Actually, 3 vets independently have mentioned the practice of feeding frozen thawed as being potentially problematic. For those of us who have quality mice that are frozen properly, we have never had a problem.
