Re: advice needed Thanks
Are they in vivs or tubs?
What did the breeder have them in?
Do they have hides?
The Q's could be endless
I got a little fella in Feb. 227g, he went off feed for 6 weeks, with a weight drop, I finally figured, he should go into a smaller tub, he hasn't missed a meal since.
Just make sure your husbandry is spot-on and they'll come around and feed

Re: advice needed Thanks
It seems as though you are convinced the person you got these snakes from did you wrong. I'm not really sure what you're trying to get from us other than support to go after the seller. The bottom line is, if YOU think you were wronged by the person you got these snakes from, then go after him. It's that simple.
I rescue pythons all the time and each one reacts differently to his or her new surroundings. Some feed right away and others waited weeks before taking a meal. As was stated before, each snake is different and will adjust according to their schedule, not ours.
If you are so concerned about the weight loss, then I don't understand why you aren't seeking veterinary care for your snake. Without having some sort of credible proof to substantiate your claim that your snakes might be ill, you'll have a hard time trying to garner support from the members here for going after a vendor, or whoever it was that you got your snakes from.
Personally, I would exhaust all avenues first to ensure there aren't any health problems with your snakes. If there are, get it documented and then go after the seller. I would be very careful calling someone a bad trader on the grounds you have right now. But, it's your call in the end.

Re: advice needed Thanks
I agree with llovelace, just because the snakes are not eating does not mean that they were not eating for the seller. Also just because your other snakes are eating in their enclosures does not mean that the new snakes feel secure in their new enclosures. What are you keeping them in? The smaller snakes may need six quart tubs, and the larger one may need a twenty-eight quart or thirty-two quart tub in rack systems to feel more secure.
