I wouldn't worry unless he gets poorly. Eating the occasional bit of undergrowth is an occupational hazard for terrestrial borrowing reptiles without hands. Their digestive systems can usually cope. |

Duke actually scooped up a mouthful after eating during a yawn and he was totally fine. It does happen and in the wild it would almost be unavoidable, unless it was a seriously big piece it will pass straight through, their insides are nice and straight so will be fine. If it was a big piece again it will probably pass through but should your snake become impacted then cross that bridge if you ever come to it. |
