Re: Getting food out of their mouth

But what if there is food already far enough into it's mouth to make that not work. Also, that would have been kind of hard because my snake will musk on me if I touch him, and the tongs I was using just kept sliding off of the worm, making it fall in the substrate again, defeating the purpose.
At first I thought that waving something that had a strong scent, like vinegar or something alcoholic, would make him drop it, but I was afraid to do that in case I got some on him or it was bad for them or something.
