The first being that you should try to feed the snake on a small paper plate or something like that to limit the substrate being ingested and then #2 being that snakes in the wild do eat there food on dirt and whatever is on the ground. I only can speak for myself and I only have dealt with corn snakes and balls but ive always fed them in there substrate. Maybe ive just been lucky?
See I’m think along the same lines. I’m the wild surely the ground gets stuck to the prey at least time to time. I think sometimes we just get paranoid about some things that we don’t need to be. With that said I just want to make sure it won’t be an issue, and I imagine the snake would have to ingest a large amount of the substrate for it to have an impact. I just wanted others experiences.
