If you can't find those two because you have no pet stores then read this ::::

"In its desert habitat, there is not a more efficient mouser to be found. As adults, rodents comprise roughly 70% of this species diet, with lizards and ground-dwelling birds making up the remaining portion. Juveniles of the species, however, feed on everything from nesting mammals and small rodents to beetles, scorpions, and small lizards. It is reputed that Kenyans will eat other small snakes as well. A diet of pre-killed laboratory mice is sufficient to keep a captive Kenyan healthy and properly nourished. As the animals grow larger, The occassional chick or baby rabbit (which will be greatly enjoyed by your snake) could be offered as a treat, but once every month or so.As this is a sedentary species, a Kenyan Sand Boa will only need to be fed once weekly. Monitor your snake for obesity and adjust feeding accordingly."

go to your pet shop, if they dont have any sure they will know someone who does sell them. it should be ok for now. i lost one of my snakes in the floor boards for 5 weeks! when i got him back he was a bit thin but still lively (been eating the spiders) while youre looking catch some spiders, its not much but will keep it going and good for hunting. U must have somewhere close who sells frozen mice/rats

Chill out snakes can go weeks without food I had a Ball python that refused to eat for 5months during one winter. I tried everything and she just wouldn't eat then suddenly she began feeding again. And she was just fine. Also the pet store as all the others have said is the best place to get rats and mice for feeding to you boa. If you can't get to one you can try a chicken wing or leg you but may have to dip it in chicken broth though that works too.

Ring around some pet stores and find the nearest on that does frozen snake food. I have checked some of your previous answersa nd you' re in India I see. May be you will have to start breeding your own food for your pet.

I would agree with all the people suggesting that you buy a rat or mouse from your pet store. Many will sell frozen, pre-killed rats or mice to feed to snakes.
