    Jaw realignment

    Well, I was talking in another thread of mine and I wanted to address my girl going into shed. But now ive notice something that could be a bit more problematic. Initially we thought it was a RI, she was constantly yawning over and over. Then earlier today I noticed her left lip looking kind of weird, it hangs kind of low instead of up behind the upper left lip. I was doing some reading nd I think she might be having a realignment problem, any suggestions?

    I would like to add, she was sold to me as hatched in the end of June and only weighs 107grams. I've been doing my best to keep the husbandry up, I'm just waiting for my uth to come in the mail, so I can ditch this infrared crap. She's currently going through a fairly bad shed, I don't know what to do to get it off her neck and face.

    For the alignment it would be better described in a picture.

    For the stuck shed don't worry about it for now. You could cause more damage then good if you don't know how to fix. Get your husbandry up and next time it sheds it will come off.

    If you are adamant at getting rid of it... Fill a tub big enough for the snake about half way up the snakes body with warm water (85-92F). Put yo snake in with a few paper towel. Pop bin over hot spot. Periodic checks, let em sit for an hour or so. Gently rub paper towel over snake until skin comes off.

    Yeah, I just feel bad for her. But I'm not going to be peeling her. Too many bad stories. -as for the realignment I'm still looking for
    A good camera do you guys can get a good look. Her feed is coming up in 2 days, so if there is a real problem I'll know after that.

    If you want educated opinions, you're going to have to post a picture. No one here can really tell what the issue may be with only words describing the condition.

    Good Luck!
