The rosy is a lost cause though. Maybe he's "mentally handicapped" (since it won't let me say the other word?).  |
i know a guy who breeds pythons, and he said otherwise. i was told they can die from impactation.

Re: Turbine eating in the air.
my rainbow had ingested eco earth a few times now...poops quite well...way too well...bahaha! its natural...snakes do get dirt on their food in the wild...as well as leaves, twigs, bark, grass, etc...i was paranoid at first too, but seems it was all for naught!

Re: Turbine eating in the air.
Honestly, a lot of snake (boids mainly) crap out bigger pieces then any loose substrate on the market. Eating a bit while feeding is not harmful.

It was the same way with my ball python. I put the hot end of the rat actually inside the hide, and he's been taking it every time. I'm not sure if a hot spot is important for colubrids, but you could try sticking it at the hide's entrance nonetheless.
As far as the impaction, I fed Bud in his enclosure once with the bedding in at one point and he got a lot of it in his mouth. He missed the rat (this is when I fed live) and got his mouth just filled with substrate. It took him several minutes to get his mouth clear, and I was so worried he was going to die or something from eating all of that EcoEarth because it expands. Luckily, he was perfectly fine and passed some urates with no problems the next day, but the vet was close by if anything went wrong. This wasn't the summer that just ended, but the one before it. I'm sure it will be fine feeding in the enclosure if you have the proper husbandry. Snakes are a bit hardier than you think. Of course, ingesting as much as Bud did every feeding wouldn't be too good, but just eating they normally don't ingest all that much bedding.

Re: Turbine eating in the air.
I have had snakes eat mouthfuls of Eco earth and even cocohusk chunks and never had an issue.
