It must have had some other problems.. Sandboas are notoriously good eaters.
Funny you mention that look for a pm from me.OldHag said:awwwww Im sorry.
Thats really sad.
I have a couple of wee 2005 babies left over that are gluttons if you want to try again..
- we had a baby sand boa a couple yrs back - it was my 11 yr olds xmas gift. This little guy was awesome and loved to eat, although it took us a long time (several weeks) to get him to eat which included taking him back to the breeder to see if he could help. We got lucky and the snake ate for the breeder. What he told us about boa's is that they are stressed easily - aka - taken from store to home, put in a new set up, etc., and it can take a few weeks (if not longer) for them to settle. We just picked up a WC Ball Python that the store owners couldn't get to eat for them - they told us it had been 4 weeks that they had it without success (we believed it was actually longer) and within 1 week we had it eat one live and one deceased full size mouse (the deceased one passed in the container the pet store pkged it in but we offered it anyways). Sometimes it's just a matter of circumstances and unfortunate events. May his little soul RIP.
