Are you feeding it frozen or live food? If it is used to live you need to trick it to get it to believe the food is live. You need to use pinky mice (baby mice that the eyes arent even open yet) or live crickets. If you use pinky mice you need to warm them up in hot water, (do not microwave, that can get very messy) then move it around in the cage by the tail near the snake to make it think the food its live. when the snake grabs on make sure you give him a little fight with the frozen mouse to get him to eat it. One other thing, snakes do not eat eveyday, generally 2-3 times a week is good for a snake on mice up to 4 times a week if it is on crickets. Hope this helps.

As well as checking that your tank is warm enough, make sure you have sufficient hide spots for it or ideally, a substrate it can burrow into. Kenyans are natural burrowers and can become stressed if forced to be in the open. I would also put off handling it until you get it feeding. Try isolating the pinkie and the snake in a brown paper bag overnight in the cage.

What's a kanyan snake? Do you mean Kenyan sand boa? They are rodent eaters, and have excellent appetites. Make sure your temperatures are right and that you're offering it pinky mice.
