Small snakes in my experience are ready and willing to eat often and aggressivly. I might give the temps a shot striking and dropping could be temp related or prey temp related (I measure mine to 100ºF give or take) or security related or just snakes being silly. If you are having issues try a temp drop and see, if that doesn't work try something else.
Oops, I meant to say they were both on live rat pups, so I am guessing they arent eating because of the switch. My lesser girl also lives in the same rack with 92 hotspot and 80 cool side and she slams food like a champ. I might try to lower the hotspot to about 89-90 though if that helps.
