Bedding in nose pits??!

[CloudtheBoa]

Seems normal, some snakes (even ball pythons) can be burrowers, they might have smelled something interesting, or if they were fed recently accidentally shoved their face into the dirt. I've also noticed some of my snakes get suuuper interested in freshly-expanded EcoEarth, so if that's a fresh batch, it was probably just getting a good sniff. (My albino boa always has some bedding stuck somewhere, but usually doesn't get it caked on her snout.)

The substrate shouldn't harm it, but if your individual isn't against the idea of water, maybe give it a quick bath just long enough to clear the substrate out?
