Awesome, I was thinking the same thing.
First time I bred pythons was an incredible cage cleaning accident(put the male in females cage for cleaning, they were locked up I let them be). Breeding doesn't mean you know what you're talking about.

Re: Turbine eating in the air.
Even I am a guy who breeds pythons. Impaction is an excuse for bad husbandry. If the husbandry is spot on they can digest almost anything even teeth and bones

I don't think they digest substrate. I'm petty sure teeth and bones can be dissolved because they are primarily made of calcium. Wood shavings, coco husk, paper, etc are made of cellulose, which I think only bacteria and fungi can break down. Snakes usually just pass any foreign material. That's why large pieces of substrate or swallowed paper towels will cause a a blockage. If they can't be passed, or if they pack together in the snakes gut, it will cause problems.
I've never had a snake with this problem, but my dog once had a blockage from eating something he wasn't supposed to. Take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Re: Turbine eating in the air.
I didn't find any bounty in her poop... so I am guessing she broke it down. Well at least to the individual fibers that it consists of.

Dogs and snakes are two distinctly different creatures. I wouldn't compare them.
Dan's point was that even if they did ingest substrate that proper husbandry should allow it to pass normally without harm.

Re: Turbine eating in the air.
Think of a wet rat running through the forrest and the snake jumping out from a pile of leaves in the dirt. What will your snake injest along with the rat? It's top notch all natural substrate

I am very surprised to hear a snake survived ingestion of an entire sheet. Were these sponge towels?

I was actually extremely worried at the time. Lol hardly slept until she finally pooped. Which for bloods is months. This finally broke me of the impaction scare that was forced into my brain as a young child from local pet shops and phony care sheets you find on google.

Re: Turbine eating in the air.
from experience i can say feeding in a separate encloser greatly reduces the chance of being mistaken for feeding time,thus resulting in being struck, if its really to much of a problem to spend 15 minutes swapping enclosers for feeding time then why spend the time and money owning/caring for a snake.
my snakes know there gettin food when i put them in there feeding enclosers,
and know thair not, when there in there housing encloser,

Re: Turbine eating in the air.
Didnt know we kept snakes just to swap them out of their enclosures just for feeding?
I have never had a snake mistake my hand for food unless I smelled like mice. My snakes know they're getting food when they smell it.

There is no way I would want to move an adult boa still in feed mode from a separate feeding enclosure back into their cage. That's from my experience.
