Ball Python feeding ( swallowed a piece of bark).
Hello guys and gals, recently got a baby yellow belly male and he has been eating so well, i noticed he ate a little piece of reptibark with his meal. Just want to know if I should be concerned. Here is a video me and a mate made of him eating and where he ate the piece of bark. Njoy

Ty for the quick respose, i was worried. I am looking into getting other substrates, or even mix them with the reptibark since it looks really nice. I find that the reptibark looses humidity after 2 or 3 days which is a bummer even in my tub setup.

My Boa gets lots of Aspen shavings in her mouth and she swallows them with no ill effects.

The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

You should leave a disclaimer that it is a live feed video. I don't mind but some people do

Your snake digests flesh and bone, a little wood won't be an issue. Although my Mojave had a chip lodged in her throat for about a week before it worked it's way out. She's fine now.

Thanks for all the responses, and sorry #ong for not warning. Seems like I cant edit my original post.

I've heard that depending on your location, if someone decides that the people recording were getting 'amusement' out of it, live feed videos can be construed as animal cruelty. I don't know how accurate that is, but I figure it's better to be over-cautious considering most people that don't own snakes are going to sympathize with the mouse.
If what the snake swallows seems smaller than what they generally poo, there's really no reason to worry. Bedding like that can be bad news for smaller types of snake (like garters) but is fine for a BP.
