Hey guys,

I just fed my little python, but didn't realise the mouse was a bit wet from defrosting so he has ingested some of his repti bark in the process, i tried to knock some off but he got it down too quick.

Should I be concerned?!!:(
 
Don't panic too much. Snakes are usually fine ingesting some substrate. Particularly as it's repti bark. Problems arise more commonly when the substrate is sand causing compaction. Of course keep an eye on him just in the off chance that something does occur, however he will more than likely be absolutely fine.
 
Thank you!! I was panicking a little. I'll keep an eye on him, he seems okay for now.
