8" and three months old sounds about right. They are a small snake species, with adult males being around 15" and females being around 30". What type of cage are you keeping it in, what type of heat and bedding are you using? In my experience baby sand boas do best when fed live pinky mice for the first 3-6 months at which point they can be switched to frozen/thawed. They also need to be provided a warm spot of ~95-100F and a cool side around room temp (70-80F).
