plz i need help

i have been using kitty litter as a substrate, which holds a ship load of dust.

A few days ago i noticed a "dust plug" wedged in its nostrils. my snake is about 3 feet long and the nostril look to be 2 small for tweezers to fit in (havnt tried yet)

i need 2 know how 2 get the dust plug out!!!!

any help would b greatly appreciated

First, I'd recommend you get ;em off the kittly litter. Then you just need to wait till the next shed oand those little dust plugs will pop out with the old shed. I was thinking of recommending that you try to let her soak but I bet it wouldn't loosen the plug but instead turn it into concrete practically....dunno. But snakes often plug up their nostrils with debris by digging with thier noses. They fix it every time by shedding out the debris with their regular shed cycles.
Pictured is a mommy Bredls with her very own dirty nose after using it to push stuff around to make her nest.
