    Help!!!!!! Bp cought his jaw during feeding

    So fed my boy tonight and came to check on him and found that he dislocated and lodged his jaw. I tried to open and pull very gently but no luck and only seems to be hurting him... any and all advise is needed. Thank you

    Looks like bottom jaw is hooked on a few teeth on the top. Do not try to get it out, you are hurting him, python teeth are hooked, so you trying to pull it out is just getting it stuck even more. See a vet.

    I'm a Do-It-Yourselfer in almost everything, but this is one of those times that even I would call a vet ASAP! Good luck

    That is awesome, so glad he was able to relocate his jaw properly. Their amazing resiliency is one of the reasons I am so attracted to the Serpentes suborder of animals.

    Too late for my reply but I was going to tell you to use the mouthwash bite release trick. Put a lil mouthwash on a qtip and rub the sides of his mouth.
