It's the day before feeding day, and I went to change Rosie's water, only to find she was trying to eat her thermometer. She'd gotten the probe partially down, along with the wire. I had to slowly and carefully extract it - something she wasn't too happy about. This isn't the first time this has happened. A few months ago, she tried to attack/eat her hygrometer.
Has this happened to anyone else? Has your snake tried to attack/strangle/eat things that aren't to be digested? Is there any way to stop her from doing this without having to remove her thermometer/hygrometer?
She hasn't tried to eat anything else, but I'm worried that if she's trying to eat these objects, that her substrate might be next. She's on Reptibark right now, and it would be small enough for her to ingest if she tried to, but is in large enough pieces that she won't accidentally eat it during feedings.
