I have my first sand boa, and he is a delight to my children!
I've had him for a full week, following every direction I can find, and he still isn't eating. I did read that sometimes they take several weeks to adjust to a new home, and its not uncommon for snakes to go a month without eating.
The "mommy" in me wants to take over and panic over him not eating.
I've tried live pinkies, thawed pinkies, night feeding, left covered for several hours, braining the pinky (ok, the kids were gruesomely fascinated by my doing this).
He is not lethargic or sluggish. Has a favorite place to hide and seems healthy.
Need reassurance or advice, please.
