    If she isn't showing any signs of distress or discomfort, I wouldn't open her mouth. If you need to, a popsicle stick or tongue depressor can be slid in flat-ways (perpendicular across her mouth) and GENTLE pressure applied. I repeat, if this is just for curiosity's sake, wait until someone with experience can show you first-hand. SHE WILL NOT LIKE THIS EXPERIENCE.

    I agree with Anna, if there are no signs of mouth rot I would not go trying to pry the snakes mouth open. If you aren't experienced with snakes medically I wouldn't recommend trying it.

    Seems you already posted a thread with the same subject.. http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...16#post1944016
    They told you the same thing, so why are you persistent on opening the snakes mouth? Does it have a swollen bottom jaw, do you see thick cheesy stuff coming out of her mouth?
