So long story short, my boyfriend works at Petco. After having a crappy day at school, I went to go visit him and price some stuff for my bp's setup up. He and his boss basically tells me that snakes will eat the coconut fiber substrate (not ingest accidentally, intentionally EAT) and that I'm gonna get bit cause I started feeding her in her enclosure. I got mad and stormed out.

So, can you guys tell me if any ball pythons have intentionally eaten coconut fiber substrate and why feeding in the enclosure doesn't cause aggressiveness?

I already know the answers, this is for me to explain to him what I was taught by you guys and why I do what I do.
