I don't doubt that scopes are available that are plenty small enough to easily traverse the long, narrow esophocus, after all, they have some that easily commute through veins to photograph arterial clogs. I would think it might be good to incorporate a camera such as this to the ultra thin, breathing tube/oxygen pump that I am mentally designing with the intention of being able to save highly congested and asphyxiating pythons.
