    possible emergency maybe!

    just fed my baby ball her dinner and it looks like she also swallowed a clump of the bedding as well. i use regulas aspen mulch, pretty soft to the touch and the bag says it doesnt hurt them if swallowed but i know how dangerous this can sometimes be.

    i am new to snake keeping so this is my first and only expirience. just let me know what i need to do.

    I love my pets.

    Just watch her, there's nothing you can really do now. She may pass it or if it becomes impacted she will need assistance. Nobody pulls debris out of their mouths in the wild, I'm sure she will be just fine

    Re: possible emergency maybe!

    If it's stuck in her mouth, you can try to gently remove it with tweezers, but be careful not to stress her out too much. If she has already swallowed it, there isn't really anything that I can think of but wait until it passes through, or possibly regurges it...

    Re: possible emergency maybe!

    alright, thanks guys. i was mostly worried bc she went back to her hide and i couldnt see if she was in pain or not.
    what Mike41793 said makes sense. my inexpirience leads me to be overly worried sometimes.

    I love my pets.

    It's good that you worry and care enough to ask questions. Nothing wrong with that.
