Is Aspen Substrate Safe for Ingesting??

[CORBIN911]

I recently migrated my snakes to a rack system....YAY! I am using aspen substrate and when I fed my snakes I noticed a little bit of bedding on the mouth of one of my snakes. This sparked a question. Is it safe for Ball Pythons to ingest aspen substrate in tiny amounts?

To a certain extent. Aslong as its not mouth fulls its fine. You more so have to worry about the long "tooth"pick pieces getting there jaws stuck open i find vs them eating a bit that got stuck to rat. When i feed FT for the picky ones who are shy i swat away the substrate and place it on plastic for them.
