| I would say hes pretty chunky! to weigh them, use digital scales, and a pillowcase, box, or the 2 combined for big snakes so that no coils droop over the sides. how much do you feed him, how big is he (weight and length) and how old is he? |

maybe feed him on top of his viv..that way there is no substrate or put some newspaper down in his viv on top of the substrate when you go to feed him..or put a tile or plate in the viv and wiggle the mouse over that to get him to feed on there..
did he definately swallow it and when were these pics taken? if they were taken yesterday keep an eye on him over the next few days as substrate ingestion can really harm them.. just keep an eye on him and if he did definatley swallow it, if you notice anything different about him id consider taking him to the vets |

| Must admit that Kellog was always dangle fed in his viv with just the substrate, so we have continued doing that with no problems so far. The substrate is shavings as opposed to chippings, and the way he strikes and coils very little of the mouse touches the ground! xxx |

| feel free to use substrate in the viv, but if you choose to feed in a tub, line it with newspaper. you can feed in the viv too though, if you put down a plate, piece of kitchen towel, or feeding dish to prevent substrate entering the mouth. also, if you make sure the mouse is completely dry before feeding then the substrate shouldnt stick. |
