I have to agree with everyone else, your posts are always entertaining (if not enlightening) and you really should consider writing a book. Even if it isn't a "How-to" book, just a book of stories about your experiences as a reptile keeper (I don't say boa breeder, because I'm sure you have stories about other species of reptile that you maybe didn't plan on breeding... "reptile keeper" is a little more all encompassing).

I agree with you about snakes being designed and capable to handle the occasional foreign debris that gets caught in their mouth or even consumed. I would find it very difficult to believe that the stomach contents of a specimen fresh out of the wild would not contain various rocks, grit, and/or vegetable matter.

Consider all of the species of boa and python that consume birds as a staple prey item in their diet. Birds regularly consume small stones and pebbles to help them digest their meals. Any snake that then eats a bird would also be ingesting all of those rocks... even though they do not pose the risk of getting caught in the snake's mouth (the feathers do though!) we would worry in captivity about impaction if our animals consumed an equal amount of pebbles.
