Hi. I just purchased two albino kenyan sand boas two weeks ago. They ate fine for the previous owners. Now they wont touch a f/t pinkie. They are getting really skinny and I am concerned. Any hints on how to get them to eat? Thanks

Put them in little deli(1 per cup) cups over night with a little bedding and a LIVE(frozen takes time for them to get used too) very small pinky!! As long as they are not shedding works everytime!!!!
Also, I have found with my kenyans is once they get used to a substrate they don't like switching (especially babies) so try to use what the other guy did!!

HI!!! They finally ate. We got two live pinkie mice, scented them with a gecko, took their water out and left them over night. The male ate both that night. The next day we did the same with another pinkie and took the male out. The female ate with no problems... Thank you all for sharing your ideas!!!
