The first thing I would do is to get them all into their own separate space. Let them mellow out and gain back thier health, it'll be easier (less stressful) to do if they don't have the other snakes to compete with. A vet trip may also be in order to make sure they don't have parasites or infections (all these things can cause problems with sheds and dehydration as well as thier previous poor living conditions). Are they eating well? Rescues can be hard work, over the years I've taken in several, and they can be difficult or they can be easy, it depends on the snake, but I've also ended up placing some great snakes with new families.
