    Do Kenyan Sand Boa's fast normally like a Ball does ?

    Ok, so we ended up with a lovely female sand boa someone didn't want anymore.

    She is around 3 years old, best guess. She has eaten very well for us, gained quite a bit of healthy weight {she was really skinny } and seems happy.

    However, about a month ago she stopped eating. She'll kill her prey, then leave it. She did this for four weeks. Last week she wouldn't even hunt her mouse.

    I know it is quite common for Ball Pythons to fast at this time of year because of the breeding season, do sand boa's do this as well ? She doesn't appear to be loosing weight yet, but I'm worried about her. She is so much smaller than a ball, I'm scared this is a sign of something more serious.
