Good evening. I saw a post back on Aug 17 from Tracy Barker regarding a boa eating something it shouldn't. She got lucky and the boa lived. I on other hand was not so lucky last year.

I fed this little guy a pinky mouse. The next day this is what I found. The snake ate the paper towel which had the mouse scent in it. He must have been struggling to regurge the paper towel and end up putting the paper towel in his water bowl which caused it to expand. He was dead when I found him.

I now use Sani Chips or corrugated cardboard for my babies. I suggest you do the same.
