I HAVE A DOZEN OTHER SNAKES ,ALL GOOD EATERS. THE ROOM THEY ARE ALL IN IS KEPT WARM AND SOMEWHAT HUMID.ANY THOUGHTS OR SUGGESTIONS..THANK YOU..JAMES

"Warm" doesn't men much to me. You might want to check the cage temperatures, because they may have dropped just enough to put your Egyptians off food. Anyway, it's easy to check.
