It is also closely associated with low temperatures, dehydration, and large or expandable particles. Impaction isn’t only caused by substrate ingestion. However, wild reptiles ingest soil and sand all the time in their natural habitat, so why aren’t they dying from it? This is most often caused by substrate ingestion. Impaction is a condition where a reptile’s digestive tract gets blocked by foreign material. These substrates pose real risk to your boa’s health and/or are not absorbent or good for maintaining humidity. That said, paper and disposable towels make an excellent substrate for a boa in quarantine. Some keepers have made these substrates work, but I don’t personally use or recommend them.
