I picked up a Kenyan Sand Boa spur of the moment at a show bc I thought it would be a cool animal for my classroom. It is housed in a 10 gal tank with a undertank heating pad on the side and for a few hours a day a 20watt bulb, that is elevated over the tank, comes on. I've had the snake 3 months and it has yet to eat. I've tried pinkies left in the tank. I put it in a paper bag overnight w a pinkie in there and nothing. The wierd thing is that it has shed twice though since I've had it and deficated (so I know it ate at some point). Ideas?
