Greetings everyone! I just got a job at Petco 3 months ago and since then our Saharan Sand Boa hasn't eaten a single thing. He soaks in his water dish and basks under a light as usual but he shows no interest in eating at all. We've tried thawed mice and live mice. I'm not the caretaker of the snake so I'm not sure if we've tried pinkies or anoles yet. I do know that we've taken the snake to the vet multiple times only to come back with a clean bill of health. Any ideas as to what might be causing the fast? The environment he is in is exact to the very detail that Saharans should be in. Just to be sure, the vet gave the snake antibiotics for intestinal parasites. The treatment is done and at the moment the snake is housed in our constantly monitored wellness room where our sick and injured animals are placed.
There are some things I don't know about the snake, I don't know the age or sex of the snake. I am 100% positive the snake is a Saharan Sand Boa and not a Kenyan or some other Sand Boa.
Any help would be tremendously appreciated! Thanks!
