My rare comment is based on case studies of my vet. In 16 years under 10 cases of impact action in ball pythons. 7 from paper towels (mostly fatal) the remaining three one inconclusive X-rays were uncertain. That leaves two one ( mine actually) on Cyprus mulch the other on bark. She sees at least 5 a day 5 days a week that is a lot of snakes. 10 in 20000 (give or take). My personal record is easy about 1:2100 that is far from common. Most breeders have never seen a single case. Why you have had massive numbers I can't say. It is far beyond my experience if you amount were common many would have the same issues here. The reality is few have at all.
Have yours been confirmed? Could it be something else?
