Yeah, obviously that would remove the chance of getting any substrate inside the animal. What substrate are you using? I'm now exclusively on paper, but back when I had the entire collection on aspen I saw a ton of the stuff get eaten. It never caused an impaction. You figure if the snake can digest bone and hair, it can digest a little wood. What it did do (one of the many reasons I switched), was ocasionally get stuck in the mouth area. About once or twice a year I'd find myself tweezing out little bits of aspen from a python mouth. You gotta love newspaper. Its not the prettiest, but its easy, safe, and free....
