    HELP is my ball python in trouble?

    I have a young female ball python, maybe 4 or 5 (she is a rescue), and she randomly started opening and closing her mouth several times for about 5 minutes non stop. This was not feeding time behaviour I had her out to enjoy her company only when she started doing this. I've never seen her do this before, yes I've seen her yawn but this was a constant opening and closing of the mouth. I suspected her jaw may have come unhinged and she was having difficulties popping it back into place but somehow I don't think that was the issue. I took a video of it but being this is my first time on a forum I'm not really sure how to go about posting it and where to post it. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

    If everything else with her looks and sounds fine, I wouldn't stress about it too much. Seems like it could be just as you suspected.

    If it keeps continuing I would consider a vet trip, but without seeing it it's hard to tell

    If you download the Tapatalk app on your phone, you can upload pictures and videos directly from your photos. If the video is uploaded somewhere online, you can post a link.
