Right now I see you assuming a lot of things. From what I have read you should throw out everything you think you know. 1 snake per enclosure, tank, tub, or expensive fancy enclosure you are not ready for more than 1 snake per enclosure. You said that you grew up around animals so you should know this one already. Boy's and Girls need to be separate at all times or else we will be answering your new post "What do I do with these eggs I just got". There are a lot of posts on here like that. "Well I only had them together while I cleaned." "The previous owner told me they were both female." Mistakes happen when people assume things. So thats the big issue.

Next, temps and humidity. You say you are checking the heating sources a few times a day and they barely get warm. What are you checking with. Your hand is a really bad judge of temp. Use a thermometer or else you have no idea what the temps really are. Despite the fact that my snake is currently not eating, I believe others will back me up in saying that proper temp and humidity is important and not having proper levels can cause your snakes to go of feed or worse get burned. Don't guess at your levels. Know them.

Feeding. Adult BP's really should be fed prey larger than mice. Once you take care of the other issues consider switching to rats.

Read read read. Read up on your BP's and on your corn snakes, and while your at it there is a lot of good info on rodents. I have said it before its called Animal Husbandry and it means the careful applications of the science, skill and art of raising and breeding animals. I have no doubt that you have the animals and you care for them. You need to learn the science quickly so you can start building the skill and discovering the art.
hey, im sorry that you dont seem to understand my posts, i do know the rules, yes i was raised around animals, wich is why i know this, like ive said over and over its only temporary that they are together and the male is not interested in the females, hes young, a little boy, i had him in his own tub, and the females are only still together for lack of containers at the moment.

Key words "AT THE MOMENT" im getting sick of people saying i dont know what im doing, just because at this moment i dont have the right things i need doesnt mean i dont know what im doing, its too late now, i have the snakes, theres no turning back so instead of telling me what ive been told over and over why dont you tell me somthing i dont know?

or, is it that there is nothing i dont know? also, i do have rats, i didnt want to give her somthing large with the other snake in the tank, today i gave her a medium rat because i could no longer see signs that she had eaten, and she had pooped, so i let her eat.

my snakes arent miserable, they are fine, not perfect but you cant expect changes like everyone here seems to expect within days, it will take at least a month to see a change in the skinny female, but im working with her, and shes a sweetheart, i also house mice, hamsters and rats in the room, none have died... except the ones being fed to snakes ...but otherwise they are fine, breeding purposly, for my snakes, although one pair im breeding to see the if the babies take the fathers fur.... anyways

you arent here in my home, you cant tell me im not taking care of them, and you may say my hand is a bad tester, but i dont just touch the subtrate, i touch it long enough to see if it gets hot, and then i move the substrate to check the glass as well as the bottom, where it adheres to the glass.

now, again i care about my snakes, and the injured one is doing a lot better, the bleeding didnt continue and she doesnt look like shes going to have any scar tissue, but if you think paper towels are better i can easily change it.
