Atlas ate some aspen tonight . . . with F/T

[UpInTheAir]

My boy Atlas finally took a F/T rat pup tonight after only eating live mice the last month. I noticed when he swallowed the rat, he took in some aspen substrate with it. Should this be cause for concern? I dried the rat off the best I could but some bedding still stuck to it.

I've heard people say their snakes have done this, but I would like some assurance.

Thanks!!

It's fine no worries.

The only thing that may happen is your snake will poop a broom. No, just kidding, everything should be fine.

You think they never ingest a little substrate in the wild? haha. But seriously... check for brooms.
