Substrate in heat pits
Hi everyone,
The substrate (eco earth) got stuck in my snake's heat pits. To get rid of it she rubbed her face in the ground more and got more of it in there.
Should I just leave it alone or try to do something about it?

i have no experience with this, but i guess a standard bath, just water, should do the job. as you describe it, it seems to annoy the snake. but maybe it dries out and falls out on its own.
is your snake head shy? but then, i guess, even if not, once you start messing with dirt inside the heat pits, it may well turn head shy.
The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it. If you disagree, send me a PM.
The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

That's MADNESS! You can't do that! Something has to be done or the snake will explode! In all seriousness. As long as it isn't moldy substrate, I wouldn't worry about it.
It will dry and fall out on its own.
