Thanks to all who responded. One last question is does it matter if the snakes are big enough to eat hoppers to only feed them pinkies? Will this be enough to sustain them thru this ordeal? Okay that was two more questions LOL!!

Thanks again.

Yes...You must downsize their meals for now. The important thing will be the snakes KEEPING THE FOOD DOWN. One tiny pinky, kept down, does some serious good. One hopper, puked back up, makes the problem worse. Work your way back up very gradually, and keep the meals smaller than you would for similar-sized snakes. And, as mentioned, don't even handle the animals until they have managed to keep several meals down. Very best of luck. Duffy
