It is a clear watery substance that is not really slimy like mucus but not the same consistency as water. Does that sound like what you have?

What worries me is your husbandry. You say the tank is at the temp of a heat pad. Heat pads should always be regulated. They get way to hot and can easily burn your snakes. Also the heat pad will not heat the actual tank it will only heat the tank floor it is under. If your room is not around 80 degrees it is a safe bet the tank is to cold if your only using heat pads.

Tell us more about the setup (pics really help) and tell us what your temps are for the hotspot and the ambient temps of both the cool and warm side. Also include the humidity level. The reason it is not feeding could very easily be a husbandry problem that can also cause an RI.

I don't have a temp gun and don't have a humidity gauge in the tanks I think the 2 might be off feed because of the season time as I have a ball around 400 grams still eating like a champ. And for the slimy stuff it just like backwash in a cup of water it is just a little it of saliva in the water none on the paper towels or anything. They have both been eating weekly and have just suddenly gone off feed I think it's for the winter time here in Canada. Thanks guys.
