I think it will be ok but JUST to be sure...

I had a container with some earthworms in it. Well I was getting my snake out and the container spilled into its tank. It ate one. I don't know if they are supposed to eat worms or not. It should be fine but I'm just wondering......has anyone ever had a snake eat an earthworm?

I have never heard of this before.
If the worms were not from the wild then I wouldn't worry about it, if they were I would take it to the vet to check for possible parasites.

Never heard that happen before.

Did it constrict it and swallow it??

kind of. Well it wrapped around it but then let go and just ate it.

[LadyOhh]

That is the weirdest thing I have ever heard.

How often do you feed it??

[Beardedragon]

Are you sure it ate it? I just cant see that happening!!!

There is so much to learn.....
Earthworm. Huh. Who'da thunk??

[Ophiuchus]

Which snake was it? the corn or the ball? I can believe a corn better than the ball.

[ThisFireBurns]

just got it. I got it off craig's list. It was fed by me for the first time yesterday. I've had the ball for about 3 days.

That is very strange... wow. Though I don't suppose that anyone has really *tried* to feed their snake an earthworm but... wow. Thats odd.
