I've only just got my snake a few days ago. My snake had it's first feeding today, and it took the pinkie right away. Unfortunately, it also took a small about of substrate that got stuck to it near the end. I'm using re-hydrated coconut husks that are sold in a brick format that need to be soaked in water, so the look and texture is very similar to top soil (damp and soft). I'm wondering what the chances are of my new friend becoming impacted, as well as the signs and symptoms I should look out for just in case? And I've read that soaking in mildly warm water will help in the event it does happen, is this true? Please and Thank you to your help.
P.S. I've been reading and I'm thinking that I should change the substrate to aspen chips, or coconut husk (large pieces/bark) like what my cousin has. As well as using a feed plate in tank, as I don't want to disturb it once it's just finished eating.
