Same with my kenyan sand boa, she is just so tiny, I have to feed her parts and sometimes I have to take the legs of the pinkie and use the foot and kinda stick it in her mouth, then she'll take it. Maybe you can try that.

If the snake is too small to eat a pinky, sometimes you may need to butcher the pink into more manageable sizes...

If it still will not eat, a vet can force feed it for you, often this will jump start the animals prey drive.

I have also seen mouse/rat tail suggested for stubborn feeders, though I have never had the occasion to try it myself.

ugh forgot to update this one i'm sooo sorry guys, unfortunately that baby passed last tuesday morning/monday night, didn't even have it 3 days, so therefore somethign seriously wrong with it before i got it, the guy is having no contact with me, wont answer phone or return emails, therefore no idea what to do, i'm trying to find a replacement for her, just needs 100% het albino female dont care on the age, would like a bit older so it'd be closer for breeding, but as long as it's a good eater dont really care on age.. i may have funding to buy another one, as looks like he wont make good on this..

did post on the BOI finally about it but ofcourse i dotn think anythign will come of that either.. finding a female is soo difficult. everyone else is eating well, even the male he eats 2 hoppers each sunday thinking of feeding him more often but dont think i will, he's fine witht his just always hungry LOL, took some more photos sunday night just need to move them to the comp.
