Burmese swallowed cord

magpi83 Jun 18, 2010 01:33 PM

I he a Burm. who is about 9' long and swallowed a cord that wrapped around a rabbit. I had to cut the cord. He swalloed approx. 2' of cord. Will he eventually pass it or will he throw it up.. Any advise will be much appreciated. I have had this guy since he was out of the egg. He ate the rabbit 4 days ago and it is completly digested... Than you!!!!

He should be able to pass the cord without any problems. I believe that if there were going to be any problems they would've already occured.

Later!

You should be fine. I once placed a retic in a Rubbermaid container at feeding time. In the bottom of the container was a small purple towel. I put the snake in the container then fed it a dead chicken. The towel evidently got caught on the chicken somehow and the snake swallowed the towel with the chicken. I didn't notice it until about three days later when the snake passed the towel in its entirety. The towel, other than being a little stinky, was unharmed. I still threw it away, though.
