Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I'm very sorry this happened on your first purchase. If you are thinking of trying again, consider Don at South Mountain Reptiles. I've gotten many quality corns from him, and he has something in every price range. If you are nervous about working with babies, consider purchasing a yearling.

Sorry for your losses 
IMO you should name the "breeders" so others will know to stay away. They gave bad advice and probably lied about the snakes eating.
I couldn't find you on http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/ . If your not on it and plan to get another corn snake please join! You will get quicker responses. There is excellent pinned threads on issues with corn snakes including non feeders. There are very experienced breeders on there that will work with you with any problems that may arise with any snake purchased (or not purchased) from them.
Did either snake ever shed their skins while in your care? Did the sellers ever mention if and when they had shed?

Just a reminder, if that is going to be done, it needs to be on the Board of Inquiry and not in the discussion forums.
Thank you

I'm sorry for the loss of these snakes, but if I may make a suggestion for any future snakes you may get? Do not handle any new snakes until you've had them long enough for them to have fed easily at least 2 or 3 times at normal intervals. And if they are hard to feed, do not handle them at all...feeding is "job 1"...there is no rush to "tame" a snake. I've bred & successfully raised a number of corn & other rat snakes, and what happens is that they are delicate creatures...handling disrupts their normal feeding instincts, just when they're trying to settle in to a new place to live...and keep in mind that shipping* is risky too. (*they can get too cold & die) Handling is very stressful to a snake: please remember that anything that normally picks up a snake in the wild is a
predator about to eat them! So if they were already weak (and for all I know they may
have been ill) you did them no favors by keeping them together & handling. Your source gave you plenty of bad information, so sorry.
