HELP my kingsnake ate foam!

Newb2382 Sep 04, 2015 09:57 PM

Okay guys need advise. My kingsnake was out, for some reason he full on attacked and murdered a necklace my son made at school. Once he finally released it, a foam letter sticker was stuck in his teeth. I was about try and get out out for him, but he swallowed it! I'm sure it had some sort of glue on it attaching it to the small match box it was on, i have no cluewhat kind. And this again is a foam letter sticker, i don't think it will be easily digested.what do i do?

I don't know, but I do know this: kings are pretty tough. My guess would be that either the foam will be eliminated at some point. I certainly hope so.

Just so you know, I have had kings swallow unintentional objects such as a decent-sized piece of paper towel stuck to a thawed rodent, a piece of bark (way back in the day when I though bark was a good substrate) and once a rubber band. All of the "victims" were fine. The rubber band eater lived in my care for over 18 years.

I suppose it is one of those things whereby if the object does not get lodged in a bad spot, it is not a problem. Hydration is important as well for a healthy digestive system.
