If it's getting cool out where you are, (especially if the garage is colder than the house), they might be fasting because of the season. A lot of snakes go off feed during the winter. Did this happen last year?

Well, without any other info, I'd say it's just winter slowdown due to the season change (shorter days and colder temps).
