corn attempted to eat himself

I have a aggressive feeder. I tossed the mouse in today and he missed and got himself. there is no bleeding he latched down pretty hard. I learned a lesson today never toss the meal in a feeding box. what should I look for as far as damage? Basicaly he only pulled hard at his scales . I used a spoon to separate him from himself

Are you feeding live or F/T? How old (big) is the snake? How big is the feeding bin? How often do you feed and what size feeder?

I just want to see if maybe he is ready for a bigger meal or feeding bin.

As long as he isn't bleeding, keep and eye on the spot for the next few weeks to make sure he didn't do more damage than meets the eye.

Snakes bite themselves sometimes, even more frequently if you feed live. I have never had a corn do any damage to itself, though. If there was no blood, there was no incision, thus nothing to need to heal.

i'd suggest getting some long forceps or chopsticks. it'll allow you to place the food wherever you want it and avoid the risks of the snake missing or ingesting substrate.

I wouldn't worry about it, happens all the time.
