Well, I hope that someone who knows about actual sand boas will reply, but as Kayla said, it might well be the low temperatures:

If he's still peeing and defecating it means his system is still working, so that's fine.
My pacific boas don't get any heat, as I live in their native country, so they are on their natural cycle and, as I said, can quite happily go without food for 3 months.
Having said that, if he went off food in September, it's going to be quite a long time before it gets warm again, so you might want to see if you can give him a warmer environment for a while if you can.
Was he always eating pinkies before? have you tried anything else? My pacific boas, and I've heard quite a few other species of boa, like chicken....
