First of all, relax. The snake has only been in your care for 1 day. I wouldn't even offer it food for a few more days at least.

Secondly, there are around 10 species of sandboa and a dozen or so "morphs" of some species. Which species you have can determine what strategy to use. Yours is probably an East African/Kenyan sandboa, but if it is not, you should tell us first. Getting a young kenyan to eat is a slight different issue thatn a young conicus or miliaris.

There are a few tips on this page - www.kingsnake.com/sandboa/feeding.html - that might help.
