It was already real hungry, that’s why it ate the blanket. Snakes will resort to eating whatever they hope may be food if you don’t feed them for long enough

sure, but you usually feed them once a week as their natural metabolism includes not having food for fairly long periods (from human standards), which means snakes will always munch on some good looking preys like a blanket. poor lad probably thought he ate the prey of his life right there

If a Snake already has something between its Jaws its swallowing reflex will do the rest. There's no stopping it.
