Thank god! Thats what I thought but wasn't 100% sure. I was worried cuz both kept opening their mouths real wide over and over like they were trying to get it out (it was poking out of the corners of their mouths) I was able to pull it out of the females mouth but the male was having none of that. I figured in the wild they most likely consume some of the dirt or grass along with their prey anyway. That's nature.
Thanks!
