Inside or out?

I think the "eating paper towels" problem occurs when they just leave the prey ON the paper towels. Then I could see how the paper towels might get stuck to the rat/mouse and the snake ingests it that way. But I used to feed my BP on paper towels all the time, never had a problem.

I tried to feed my boa on them for a little while, but it a) didn't even matter because she usually ended up dragging it somewhere else and b) I didn't like trying to get them OUT of the tank after she was done.

Yea, we use paper towels here as well with no issues. If the rat was wet and placed on a paper towel I can see it being an issue. Or maybe if the rat was alive and grabbed the paper after being struck or something. Watching your animals eat saves a lot of headaches
