I'm sorry I don't know about sand boas, but my male pacific boas do go off feed (for up to 3 months) in colder months when the females go into mating mode, and they roam the tank all night trying to get to the girls. They go back to eating and calmer behaviour when the weather starts to warm up and the girls stop smelling fabulous, without any harm. (I'm actually still waiting for them to start feeding now, they stopped back in July, the start of southern hemisphere winter). Our nightime temperatures are about 28oC (82oF) in summer, down to 18 - 21 oC (65 - 68 oF) in winter, so that drop of around 15oF is certainly enough to stop them feeding.
Do you have a female anywhere near him? Might he be reacting to that?
Are sand boas nocturnal? if so you might have more luck trying to feed him at night when he's up and about.
However, my general advice is not to worry if he's not losing weight, they can go for quite a long time. Is he still drinking and passing urates?
