what are the advantages and disadantages of using aspen Sani Chips. If fed on them and they get ingested are they digestable or will it plug them up?

Thanks for any imput

I've raised baby kingsnakes up on Sani Chips into adulthood. They have swallowed lots over time, though only a few chips at any one given feeding. These snakes lived a long time (15 plus yrs).

Sani Chips are little squares of hardwood. They stick to anything wet. Because boas have much larger heads than kingsnakes, there is more of a chance of a chip lodging in the mouth and staying there. If using any small particulate substrate, I would inspect the boa's mouth for lodged particles periodically.
