:seems odd that all of them are "off feed"...

makes me wonder is one of the snakes "has something" and has passed it around?? did this occur when you brought anything specific into the collection?

you are giving them day/night cycles (light) and doing a nighttime drop? (don't think the temp drop is a BIG deal, but try the opposite of whatever you are doing...if you are then stop, if you're not then start) as I said before, the female java was on again/off again...the male was a fairly steady rat eater...

my melanoleuca pound rats...

the kaouthia shouldn't need scenting if they are established...

get fecals done if anything comes out of anything (hopefully you'll get at least a little)...

look for signs of a resp. infection...

good luck...

Steve
