Not really much different then swallowing a bit of dirt.

@OP - I would definitely change your substrate as Eco-Earth really isn't that good at all.

Keep the eco-earth. Snakes ingest substrate all the time and unless the mouse is stuffed with the eco-earth, you're not going to be seeing any issues. These are animals than can break down bone, do you think their stomach acid can't handle a little finely ground coconut husk? Congrats on the successful feed, OP!

I thought coco husk would be better to ingest than wood (cedar, aspen...) ... they ingest dirt in the wild...

I sure hope no one is using cedar as substrate.

WHAAAAAT!?!?!? what are you talking about? what would you suggest, aspen?! lol. eco earth is one of the best substrates you can use for ball pythons! it holds humidity better than any store bought substrate out there, the top layer will dry out, while the lower levels stay moist...so your snake is not laying on wet bedding. it is digestable if it is swallowed, and it looks and smells great. why on earth would you say that it is not a good bedding?! that is ridiculous. it is better than anything you can buy...and I think the only better bedding out there is a bioactive bedding that you make yourself. I would like to know your reasons that you think that this bedding is bad...there is not a bad quality about it! lmao!
