Ok first off, newly-acquired snakes shouldn't be in the same room with your established snakes until they've cleared quarantine (minimum 90 days). After a scare with crypto I had a friend with no snakes do quarantine for me at his place. ATB's can be a particular concern since many on the market are wild-caught imports.
This time of year my adult colubrids do back off eating a bit as the seasons change, but when they were young they were little garbage disposals.
I would continue to offer weekly feedings and monitor their weight. Fortunately - or maybe unfortunately? - most captive snakes are overfed and they will survive just fine eating less than the typical weekly meal.
