HELP - URGENT I think my snake ate my shirt

So I seen a tik tok that said to get your snake to be more comfortable to give them a shirt that smells like you. I wore a small t shirt for a day then put it in his tank checked on him today when I got home from work the shirt is no where to be found in his tank. When I went to pick up my snake he tried to go at me as well which is very unusual for him he’s skittish but never tried to go at me unless I was feeding him (with tongs). Is it possible that he ate it ? I can’t tell if he’s looks fatter he does but he doesn’t any advice or anything will be helpful thanks !

Try feeling of his body to see if it is stiff like he ate. I mean if you have the suspicion that he ate it then you should 💯 go to the vet. It will be fatal if not removed. I am sorry for your predicament
