Smart Snake

Okay, here is the requested picture. I know shes got wrinkles, its the shed she is retaining, the rest of her body is looking very healthy.

I dont quite know what is going on with her jaw. at first I thought it would be mouth rot, but looking at some pictures, I suspect otherwise.

As you can see it comes down on one part, and kind of folds when it gets closer to the neck. I tried to get another picture of the bottom but it took me like 50 tries just to get that one. Tell me what you think..

as for her shed, shes been in her humid hide on her own will for the past hour or two. I'm hoping that will give her what she needs for the last part left on her.
If not I will take care of it tomorrow.

My guess would be that she's uncomfortable from the retained shed and is still trying to rub it off, causing her jaw to disalign. Try your best to get her hydrated and get that shed off of her.

Don't be so quick to assume RI.. There could be lots of reasons she's doing what she's doing. An unnecessary vet visit could do more harm than good.

Keep us updated. :)

You said she dunked herself in the water, head and all, so I would think that is where the clicking and yawning came from.. ever gotten water down your nose.. you do whatever you can to get it out.. I just had to soak a girl and she did the same thing ( dunked her head then clicked) she is completely fine now.

I would be sure to make sure she has lots of water available, keep her humidity and heat up and a close eye on her. Hopefully she gets that shed off and starts to feel all better.

When should I expect her to be able to re-align it?

She has finally taken a liking to her humid hide. She was in there when I went to bed, and when I woke up. Although, she did come out cause I noticed a very large poop beside the hide >.<

We only thought it was a RI cause she was making an odd clicking sound every now and then. I havent heard it since.

Edit:

Yeah, in one of my previous posts, that was the main reason I didnt freak out about the clicking, she decided to go for a dunk in the water haha. It went away pretty quick.

I have been spraying morning and night, and monitoring the damp of her humid hide. Im thinking tonight everything should be proper, finally.

Now I just gotta get on helping the male get comfortable, he just sits in the corner all day.
Any suggestions?

Ijust bought a snake aswell, and she wouldnt go into her hides either and did much of the same sit in the corner all day thing, i got her a hide with more entrences/exits for her and now she goes in there alll the time.

The male seems to be getting more comfortable. I gave him a bit of attention and he sparked some curiosity finally. My uth's came today, so took him out, and while doing so, I blacked out his windows, and turned his hide facing them. He went in almost right away.
