It is by no means uncharacteristic for a Kenyan to refuse food. One of my Kenyans is a VERY healthy adult female and she'll go long periods where she accepts once a week and eats like a good girl, but twice a year she becomes significantly more active and then refuses to eat, sometimes for a month or more. I have always been told that it is a huge trait of the breed during mating season and a 1st response to changes in the environment. Also, the feeder box is a must for regular feeding. They get use to it quickly and get a great sense of safety. Will prevent future problems with your snake ingesting substrate which can rapidly become a huge problem. Give it another go after it has calmed down for a couple days, and try at night for best results.
