I so proud of my baby ball python. He ate both of his hoppers today. I really made sure to heat them up this time, and when I offered them to him, he struck both of them successfully both times! He just got his second one, but as I noticed him struggling to find a spot to gulp it down, he dragged it into his hide and kept struggling in and out. But with him sweeping it about, there was some pieces of substrate (cypress mulch) on it- two big pieces and a couple small ones. I managed to pull off a noticeable big one, but when he dragged back into his hide, there was still one more big one and a few smaller pieces.
While he's eating, I'm worried those pieces of substrate will hurt his health. I had a paper in there and everything for him to eat on. If he eats those pieces of substrate, will it be harmful to him? Will he have any health problems afterwards? The last thing I need is for him to get sick.
Thanks, anything helps
