Three Questions - Bowel Movements, Shedding, & Swallowing Reptibark

[Bogertophis]

If that was my snake, I'd either want to get the bark out of her mouth myself, or get help from a vet, because it's annoying her & could promote a mouth infection. That's easier said than done, especially since she's still in "feed mode" (ready to bite anything "incoming"). You might try spraying water into her mouth- & if she opens her mouth to bite, so much the better, haha. Or encourage her to drink from a bowl when you can- it may loosen & fall out, or slide down her throat.

It's pretty small if only 1/4" so swallowing it probably won't be a problem, nor passing it. But in general I like to avoid letting my snakes swallow substrate, because the bigger stuff, or if it happens multiple times, could cause a blockage- snakes CANNOT digest that stuff, they lack the enzymes for anything other than their natural diet. Even little twigs are abrasive & may catch internally, & if it happens repeatedly could create a blockage.

It's common for snakes, especially young ones, to eat multiple meals without defecation. This is one way their bodies conserve water in the wild- they only go when they really need to, so be patient. Constipation or other blockages aren't common, so with any luck, one of these days your snake will mess up her home. Another thing- with young snakes eating young prey, it's mostly digestible, so there just isn't much waste left over they need to expel. Young rodents have less fur & smaller bones.

Shedding happens when a snake's body needs to- not on any sort of schedule. Again, patience.
