Anorexic Kenyan sand boa

I had her on aspen prior to the switch, but now she's on crushed walnut shells with an ultratherm heater on the bottom of the tank. She's been fairly active since I made the change, so I'm hoping for the best. Temps are between 95F and 100F.

Mine eats like a champ. Eats 1 frozen pinkie a week (wont eat live), except when he went into shed and didnt eat for 3 weeks. He has an under-mat heater, and a 60 watt heat emmiter. Air temps are 75, sand temp is 80 on cool side, 90-100 air and sand temp on hot side.

How are you feeding her?

I've found that mine won't eat if I take him out of the substrate first. I have to scope out his little nose in the substrate and practically touch the f/t or live young rat to his nose, then he'll strike suddenly.
