I picked up a baby sand boa (Kenyan it looks like) on Craigslist this weekend from a guy selling it cheap because of neglect and his teen daughter didn't want it anymore. I figured that it would be cool to get experience with a new type of snake. I picked up the snake and it is TINY. I knew it was a small breed but I was not prepared for how small it actually was. I read in the care sheets that they eat mouse pinkys so I had picked some up in preparation but they look almost too big to feed it. The mouse skull is about double the diameter of the snake but I need to feed it tonight or tomorrow (apparently it hasn't eaten in a couple weeks).

My question is should I try the whole pinky or cut it and feed a smaller part? I can try to get comparison pictures up if you need it but here is the snake on the previous owners hand
