I'll cover the basics, what is your setup like? hot side, cool side, ambient temps? Are they in a tank, tub, or what? Do you have thermostats for all your heat sources? What's the humidity like? People will need to know that imformation to help you out.

Ok was it a question or a statement?
So is it "wtf. 5 snakes nobody's eatin yo?"
Or is it "wtf. 5 snakes nobody's eatin yo."
Because one means you need help the other means you just wanted us to know you have 5 snakes not eating.
Help us out a little more.. Yo

Cool side 80, ambient 83, hot side 90.. humidity is 70%
My normal female actually just ate...I really just jumped the gun on the post, kinda bein funny with it i figure I'll just give them some time. How often do you guys wait before offering food after refusal?
One of my smaller ones is in shed so I didn't really expect her to eat, and it looks like my pastel is also about to shed, a little bit of a pink belly.

Re: Dude nobody is eating
If my ball refuses, then I feed him on the next scheduled day.

I've had the oldest of the bunch for about five years, i'm used to them refusing to feed but i just found it odd that it took about 30 minutes before ANYONE decided to eat. Once the first one did, then the next two did...I'm really thinking that the two females that didn't eat are close to shedding and that's what the problem is, i bumped their humidity up and will try again next friday
