    Last night my snake tried to eat the paper towels in his cage.So i figured he was hungry.I tried to feed in a f/t mouse but he didnt want it.So i let him go last night and this morning i found him dead.He died in his water dish and had some paper towels with him.Is it possible that he could have choked on a paper towel????

    can snake choke?

    I'm very sorry about your bp.
    And I guess it is possible. Maybe someone more qualified could answer this. Again I'm sorry about your bp.

    Sorry about what happen. I would help you but this is the first time ive ever heard of a snake doing this especially for a bp whis uses heat differences, smell, and sight to find their food.

    I've never heard of a ball python trying to eat paper towels or anything that wasn't an animal. I'm sorry for your loss.

    Wow, I don't knwo if we should assume troll yet. It is possible that the snake wasn't trying to eat the towel, but rather was "yawning" or otherwise got part of it stuck in his mouth, freakish things can happen
