By the way, just found this posted at

(note to mods: sorry for profanity, but it's part of the web address )

"Male sand boas that are a year of age or older will often fast at any point between fall and spring. These fasts can often last 3 months, or even as long as 6 months. If any of this sounds familiar, and your snake is not losing weight, chances are it is a seasonal fast and nothing to worry about. I suggest offering food once every 2 weeks, and monitoring weight every 2-3 weeks, just not on the same day that you attempt feeding."

At least that's reassuring!
