I fed my ball python yesterday and he may have ate a few pieces of substrate will that effect his digestion. He may not have even eaten any will he be able to still pass everything?

Its fir bark from repti bark. The bark may have fell off when it got towards his mouth. Not sure though.

Re: question on feeding
There is a small risk of impaction when feeding on any loose substrate, but a few pieces here or there shouldn't hurt him.
