Seems very unlikely that a snake would or could have swallowed a plastic leaf with 'dinner'...it would have fallen away, out of her mouth, I think. If she acts
ill, then take her to the vet, but if not, I'd assume you're mistaken & she didn't ingest it. Are you SURE the plant wasn't damaged before & you just didn't notice?

Thank you for the reassurance. I also figured it was highly improbable, if not for wondering where the leaf might have disappeared to. I'm near 100% positive the plant was not previously damaged, as I cleaned it the night before feeding when she shed and made a mess.

Well, one good thing about plastic plants is that snake teeth do NOT catch on them...that's why I think her swallowing is very unlikely. Silk plants or any
fabric in a snake cage is another matter...if their teeth can snag something, they will.
