Are you trying live or f/t pinkies? If f/t I would try live. Also, contrary to their name, kenyan sand boas are not from areas that are pure sand. Their natural habitat is more like an arid-desert scrub land type thing. I would try using aspen instead of the sand. It will allow their burrows to hold shape. For a small individual like yours I would give it 2" of substrate.
