Piece of metal lost in snake enclosure...

A piece of a plant hook about 1/8th of an inch long has somehow vanished amongst my substrate. :confusd:
I have been digging around trying to find it for nearly 30 minutes, without success.

How great a risk is it? Should I be emptying out the entire cage?

Empty the cage and do bot put anything with metal back in the cage.

Yup. That's what I was fearfully guessing I would be doing.

You could try a magnet. And see if it picks up the metal

Yup. Rather painful lesson. I had the pleasure of setting up my enclosure... twice!
