Then use the center Q-Tip stick to prop her mouth open and hang her head down and use a spray bottle and flush her mouth out. Had to do that twice. After that, I swear I'm never using Eco Earth again. Two times I've used it and two times I've had issues.
They both had enough to were they could not close their mouths. I was able to remove some from my BP, the rest it seems he just eventually worked down. My boa absolutely refused to let me near him with the forceps, I tried gently spraying it with my mister but he eventually worked it down as well. This is the first time I've had this problem and I've been keeping them on aspen chips for the last 8 months or so. Do you keep them on paper or just feed out of their enclosures on paper?
