    Exclamation Hair poking out of vent?

    Hi everyone, I could use some insight into a rather strange situation that has come up with Shesha. I was holding him this evening and while brushing his eco earth bedding off his belly I noticed what looks like either a hair or a piece of coco fiber stuck to his vent. I first tried to pull it off of him thinking it was just something he had picked up off the couch but it is actually stuck in his vent. I can only assume it is somewhat long since it isn't budging. If he did swallow a hair how on earth did it make it all the way to his vent undigested? Is it possibly a piece of eco earth wrapped around his spur? There is about 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch visible and the rest is up somewhere under his anal scale. I felt along his belly and he has no lumps or evidence of impaction. Is this a wait it out situation? Anything to be concerned about?
