This group is notoriously tough to keep so good luck. I would consider "crippling" some of your feeder fish to give the snake a chance to capture one. Sounds like he is at least interested in eating. Or dangle a dead minnow, goldfish, guppy, whatever in front of the snake using forceps. Heck, I would even try road killed small frogs. You almost certainly have wild caught snakes; not even sure they have been captive raised. Frankly, these snakes should probably not even be sold as pets. But now that you got them, best of luck.
