    Help!!

    My snake was eating and he swallowed a wood chip, it's half way down his throat, we got one out. But I don't know if he's going to be ok!!!

    Help soon!!!

    EDIT: I managed to get the piece out, I checked no blood or anything... So what if this happens again? Should I put the snake in a box without chips with the mouse?

    The snake should be fine. My friend and I both feed ours on sani-chips (I switched from feeding in a different container), and we've never had a problem, even when they eat a few chips.

    Few pieces will not harm them. They digest bone which has a harder density to wood. Dont worry he will digest it and poop it out.

    so let me make sense of this.. your snake swallowed a wood chip and you went in after it?? lol.. is there not enough proof when your snake swallows a hole rat and turns every bit of it into poop?
