Re: At wits end :(
What type of enclosure do they have? Are they housed together? What are teh temps and humidity? What substrate do you have? How often are you offering them food?
Apart form what looks like stuck shed they dont look overly skinny or anyhting form the pics?

Disregard that "advice".
You have a huge issue.
I'll give you some wonderful advice but I must first use you as an example as what NOT to do; DON'T try to save an extra $10 or $15 by cheaping out and getting the 'non-eaters' or WC/CB babies.
They will likely die.
Go ahead and spend an extra $30 and buy two babies that are:
1. Well established eaters.
2. From a reputable breeder, there are TONS of them out there now.
My advice: Take notes; put them into a smaller enclosure. I don't care how small you think the one you have them in now is, get a smaller one and do it quickly. Babies that do not eat have an expiration date of roughly six weeks.
If they have not eaten, I would recommned putting them in an enclosure that has no more than 1.5 sq. ft. of floor space. Cover 1/3 to 1/4 of that space with heat, and put in a hide that is half the size of the enclosure.
95 on the warm side (yes, 95, trust me) and 80-83 on the cool side. Give them a large water dish, one big enough to soak in, they're dehydrated for sure.
Offer them a very small (5-7g) live rat fuzzy. The mouse can do no harm at that size, don't worry about it.
Get back to us when it all works out for you.
Good luck.

you should do everything mykee said IMMEDIATELY, he knows what he's talking about.

Re: At wits end :(

Re: At wits end :(
Sorry Im at work so Im limited on time getting on here. They are together in a 10 gallon tank with the shredded coconut stuff on the bottom with repti bark over that. They have a water dish and Ive been misting them 2ce a week. temps are upper 80s. I waited 2 weeks before offering them food but now have been trying once a week when I feed all of my other snakes.
It sounds like Ive been trying alot more than I have since I will offer one thing but if after an hour they dont take it I will switch to something else in hopes that will b e more successful...
If you all dont think she looks all that bad aside from a bad shed (whick she has been sporting since we got her) than I wont stress as much.
When I get home I will separate them into 2 5 gallons.
I dont think they are big enough to eat a fuzzy rat but I will try again when I get home if the pinky isnt gone... please let the pinky be gone...

Re: At wits end :(
what do you have for a top for the tanks? if its screen you are just letting all the humidity out of the tank, you need to get them in tubs not fish tanks, it will help them with there shed better.
and let them be in there own tubes for 1 or 2 weeks just change there water and stray them down but dont hold them that will let them get use to there new home and they might start eatting.
