Sand Boa Feeding conern...

[Bogwoodbruce]

Just a little concerned as ive tried feeding my First Kenyan Sand Boa today and normally he strikes the mouse and he hasnt missed a feed yet but hes not shown any interest in it, so im going to leave it in overnight, he seems fine but am a little worried as he normally eats it straight away, is this a normal thing for them?

Is he/she opaque? Only time mine ever refused was when she was opaque.

How big is he/she? Keep in mind that Boiids have a slow metabolism and occasionally may miss some feeds. I know of a Sand Boa that didn't eat for like 3 months and didn't lose any weight.

Its hard to tell but he could be comming upto another shed, hes probs about 12-14", we've got a sand boa that hasnt eaten inh 4 months at work and hes fine, was just a little concerned, will try him again next week.

Mine didn't eat for 6 months. Only because I lost it I'm my house for 6 months. Threw it a hopper and it ate it. Good luck though. It was probably my worst purchase ever. Super boring.
