Help peeps !!

Fed my Albino Royal in her viv but on a piece of card so wouldn't get any orchid bark down her throat but after the mouse had gone down I noticed she was opening her mouth continuously , after a close look with the help of a torch I could clearly see a small piece of bark stuck on the top of her mouth ( inside) .

I guess snakes get all kinds of dirt and bits down their throat when they feed in the wild .....just slightl concerned.

Duke eats substrate occasionally, never done him any harm. Its only little bits and I'm sure they do much worse in the wild.

It's only a very small piece , under half an inch long and just stuck with saliva in the top of her mouth. She just looked in a bit of discomfort.
