| As fare as im aware there isnt anything you can do, just hope it passes through. Try not to worry though mate, as long as it wasnt too big a peice it should be OK. |

Not alot you can do about it now but keep a close eye on your snake and make sure he passes it ok. If you havent seen any sign of a pooh in a few days a bath could help move things along but aspen should pass through without too much trouble. Just how young/small is the snake? and what size was the bit of aspen?
bark and wood chippings are the real problem subtrates in ingested. You could try putting the pinky on a paper plate or something next time to try and stop it happening again. |

I've got to say, don't worry too much - in the wild snakes don't carry their own feeding dishes around with them so the odd bit of muck and wood shouldn't harm them!
That been said, it's a good idea to make sure your snake doesn't injest lots of substrate for obvious reasons... |

| Never pooed? Once? In four months? How often is he fed? and what on. |
