I think it will be ok but JUST to be sure...
I had a container with some earthworms in it. Well I was getting my snake out and the container spilled into its tank. It ate one. I don't know if they are supposed to eat worms or not. It should be fine but I'm just wondering......has anyone ever had a snake eat an earthworm?

I have never heard of this before.
If the worms were not from the wild then I wouldn't worry about it, if they were I would take it to the vet to check for possible parasites.

Never heard that happen before.
Did it constrict it and swallow it??

Which snake was it? the corn or the ball? I can believe a corn better than the ball.

That is very strange... wow. Though I don't suppose that anyone has really *tried* to feed their snake an earthworm but... wow. Thats odd.
