I have had my new kenyan sand boa for about three weeks, and she's proving to be a pain when it comes to feeding.
She's tiny, about 11g. We have her in a plastic shoe box sized enclosure in a rack with heat tape along the back. We got super small f/t pinkies to give her but she wants nothing to do with them. We tried feeeding her in the dark, out of the cage, we've left her with them overnight and nothing works.
Last week I tried force feeding it to her because she had lost weight since we first got her. She spit it out and we had to feed via a syringe with pureed pinky (yum) of which she took only a tiny bit...
Anyone have any ideas? I'm really getting worried because she's so small. :icon_frus
