what is impaction ? :?

 

[rich25]

Impaction of the gut can be caused by ingestion of substrate, ingestion of food that is too big, or by parasites.

 

[dragontattooist]

impaction is caused when a reptile eats substrate such as chippings or more commonly, sand. Because the animal cannot digest or pass the sand/chippings they become lodged in the intestinal area and can cause many problems, such as constipation and even death.
Hope this helps!
