coco coir ?

My snake cannot become compacted if he accidentally ingests some coco fibers right? I am pretty sure i have heard that it is ok for them to ingest it without problems, but i searched and could not find either or. Can someone verify this for me?

you mean coco shavings like peat moss? it's not too much of a problem if they ingest a little bit of it.too much and they can become impacted by it.

A little shouldn't cause impaction. Too much could indeed cause problems but the stuff passes through pretty easily.
Also, its IMpacted not COMpacted lol
