My BP might die.. beyond worried.

They swallow animals whole, bone and all. I think they can handle a little bit of mulch. That being said I think some really good advice has already been brought up on how to avoid this. Personally I don’t like mulch as it can cause splinters and doesn’t seem like it’d be very comfortable to me. Depending on species I usually use a mixture of coconut fiber, husk and moss. I feed all my animals in their enclosures and haven’t had any impaction issues. Hopefully this thread has helped ease your mind.

FYI, different enzymes are required to digest bones & protein versus plant material...VERY different. Snakes are not & cannot be 'vegetarians' for this reason.
It's not about being "tough enough to digest bones"...they do not possess the enzymes needed to break down plant material.

I too would be concerned about mulch with splinters...perforated guts are not unheard of, but usually minor amounts of debris just "go along for the ride" OK.
