that sounds scary
I'm no expert, but I'd warm 'em up and see if you can get 'em to eat

I would keep them cool for only a very short time, then warm them up again and hope it was long enough to fool them. Good luck, Josh. Keep us informed on what you decide to do.

Put them on a light timer. Warm them up, then gradually increase the length of day until you are on a 16 hour day.

In the meanwhile, check them for parasites with a vet. Brumating a snake with a parasite load can cause this weight loss you are seeing, and can also create a failure to eat.
