Here's the deal, in short:
About two weeks ago we moved all of the snakes, due to my parents losing their house. Three of the snakes (two BP's, one corn snake) went with me to the new apartment; two snakes (one bp, one corn snake) went with Max to his mom's house.
My suspected female BP "Madison" and both the male and female corn snake are eating just fine, since the first time we offered them food after the move.
My two definite male BP's, Nergal and Cleo, have been refusing food.
Nergal usually eats mice, and Cleo rats; I'm going to try switching the food they usually eat to see if it helps. If that doesn't work, I might consider an ASF for Cleo; he's eaten one before, and he's still looking skinny. I'm not able to get him the fecal test like I wanted to, the vet is being too complicated about all of this. >:/ So I don't know why he keeps looking so skinny, but him not eating for two weeks now isn't making him look better.
Madison hasn't gained any weight either.
Anyway, so here's my problem: I would normally think that the snakes are stressed, except for the fact that my female bp and both corns are eating just fine. It's just starting to get warm here (70'2-80's, drops into the 60's or lower at night easy), as it's been a cold summer thus far in Washington.
I've been keeping all the snakes at my apartment nice and warm, all at the same temp, but Cleo is the only one here who will not eat, of two bp's and one corn.
Nergal is at Max's, and the temps there are a bit lower because his mom insists upon opening the window, which lets in a nice draft. :/ So we're going to get a lamp for him, but regardless, he's not wheezing, no bubbles, acting fine, so I don't think he has an RI (though I'm not taking any chances with that window being open).
what could cause them to not eat? This is the first feeding strike ANY of my snakes have ever been on that has lasted more than one week.
Both boys cruise their tanks all day and night, and seem interested when I'm heating up the food, but once I offer it to them the only way they'll acknowledge it is by acting afraid of it, real jumpy and scared.
We didn't change their tank setups or substrate.
Is it just coincidence that both boys are not easting, or could it be hormones?
Any advice/thoughts are appreciated. I'll keep offering no more than once per week, just in case they get hungry, but...
Thanks guys.
