Your snake cannot digest this but since it's "the size of 2 sunflower seeds" I think it should pass OK without harming him...maybe you'll see these pieces again-
when he defecates...the blue might stand out a little?
I would however, disagree that " he associates that sound with being fed " since snakes (including yours) have no ears & cannot hear as we do, &
while they can feel some bass notes (so can we) I don't think you could possibly be that noisy when you fetched your gloves.Don't feel too
bad though...snakes are typically thinking about their next meal, whether we are or not, & yours just "reminded you" of this.
Always better (safer) to make your intentions clear to your snakes...I had to be super careful last night when I cleaned cages for my 2 large female Florida rat snakes-
they both recently laid very large double clutches of infertile eggs -neither has ever mated & they do this every year.They've been ravenously hungry & eating
every few days...neither one is skinny, but each is still ready to "take my arm off"- they were SO tense, but I conveyed the right unwelcome message (I'm NOT food!)
& managed to briefly handle them out of & then back into their clean cages without any nips. Silly girls!
hoping I've got more for them to eat...it's our motion they see, but they don't identify us with vision alone, always remember that. To a snake, motion means prey.
