I've heard of fungi infecting snake skin, but I've never heard of it affecting them internally, although if anyone has any links of such a case I'd be glad to read them!

Since I feed f/t, the snakes don't GENERALLY get much bedding in their mouths, but if the drag the rat around or the bedding sticks to wet parts they can ingest some and they have gotten a good mouthful each before with no blockages or death.

i know it is very uncommen for a snake to be harmed from ingesting bedding but it isnt unherd of, i wouldnt be so against it if i havent had some one come to me with pictures and questions, regaurdless that i told RECOMENDED feeding in a seperate continer (not just for the bedding injestion but i do belive feeding in a seperate container lowers agraetion within the original encolsure) he blamed me for selling him the ' unfit substraight' regaurdless it was specificaly desinged for snakes.
