I had it happen twice this year. Both Boas lived.

The first one I saw do it so I pulled the paper towel out.

I then switched to newspaper and had one eat the news paper then regurgitate it. When I found the regurgitated news paper it looked like a cigar all rolled up.

I haven't had the problem ever before.

If I could find/get sani-chips locally I'd use them instead.
