    Well your first issue is they are housed with a Burm.

    Second issue two breeding males being housed together…One will dominate the other.

    You should really get your balls set up in proper separate enclosures!!!

    With snakes... cannibalism isn't unheard of...

    If they're stressed by from sharing the tank, that may be the cause of the fasting. Snakes are most vulnerable just after eating. That's why stress right after eating leads to a regurg, it's a defense mechanism.

    Would you eat thanksgiving dinner if you thought someone was going to fight you in an hour?
