I highly doubt that your snakes died in a one week period because they weren't fed. Either they weren't well before you left or the snakes were abused. The only way I know a snake could die in a week would be if they were kept in temperatures below freezing.

I've had a healthy Ball Python go off his food for over 100 days then start to eat on his own. Sure he looked a little worse for the wear, but he did fine once he started eating. If you've bred Ball Pythons, you know the little guys can be trouble getting to feed for a few weeks at a time.
I would brumate my colubrids for 2 months every year for over 15 years. They did so well, that most would lock up after getting 4-5 meals in them after the brumation period.
