Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

How old is it? Male or female? What is your set up (temps, substrate, hide, water etc..)?

I have yet to get any of my sand boas to eat frozen thawed. For the baby ones, I put them in a small cloth bag with a live pinkie for a couple of hours then check on them. The pinkie ususally is eaten by then. Sand boas need to stay warm, too. I keep mine on heating pads on the low setting. Be sure they have a water dish, too.

For my babies, I have to make the mice "dance" a bit before they will eat them. I also thaw mine out in water with like chicken broth cubes disolved in it. Yummy~

Did they say it had eaten before you bought him? I would try small live pinkies, just left alone with him in a small container/paper bag over night. Also try not to handle him, let him settle in. Once he is feeling safe it may be easier to get him to feed. How warm is warm? If the temps are not where he needs them, he will refuse to eat. Try to get something to measure your cages temps. 70%?
Good luck!!

I just wonder now what is going to happen when you get a new snake and it refuses to eat. Are you just going to keep taking them back?

For my baby sand boa, I put him in a plastic tupperware with the lid on it and put that in the bathroom with a towel over it and the lights out. That seemed to work for me very well with F/T pinkies.
