Any truth to this?
A little bit of substrate being swallowed will not hurt your snake. Though there are ways around it. Some people will put the rat on a paper plate, but I guess that only works with frozen thawed. Your snake will do his fine eating in his enclosure, as long as he's not swallowing a mouth full of substrate every meal.
