as with any snake, i would seperate them asap. i have captive breed water snakes before. i put the new borns into deli cups with clear plastic dixie cups as water bowls. the cups match up with the height on certain deli cups, so the snake can not turn them over. cut a grove on one side of the cup so the snake can crawl in and out. you should be about to set up all 13 snakes for less then $10. Keep offering the same food as you have been, but now you will know who is eating and who isn't. in a few weeks try offering dead fish off tongs. once they will take those, get some day old pink mice and scent them with fish. offer a fish, if the snake takes, offer the pink right after. before lone you should have your CB waters converted to mice. i do not think they degist hair and bone very well, so i never offer mine adult mice. i use pink mice up the point they open their eyes, then i move over to pink rats and use large pink rats all the way thru adulthood.
