These questions scare me dude. It sounds like your are heading towards force feeding and forced intercourse. Watch out for PETA!

Ok, seriously, you cannot force snakes to copulate. They will just do it or not do it, on their own.

As for getting wild caught balls to eat, well you have chosen a hard row to hoe. If you keep them in seperate cages that are out of the way so there isn't someone walking by all the time, with proper heat, humidty, fresh water, give them a hide box and leave them alone for a few to several days and then drop a small live rat in the cage in the evening when it is dark, they may eat. You can also try mice and gerbils but gerbils are illegal in some areas and are quite expensive in comparison to rats and mice.

There is a lot more information on the web about both of your questions. They are typically things that a more experienced person would be trying.

Good luck with your snakes.
