    Might just be worth it to see a good exotics vet and have them prescribe you some antibiotics just in case. There might be some swelling from the infection that's making the jaw look funny.

    We can only do so much through the internets. Sometimes a vet is the best option.

    Does she ever rub on the side of her cage or tub? Like trying to get out?....

    Generally not with the rubbing. She seems to be a fairly happy camper when it comes to housing. The part that confuses me is her paper towels haven't been like soaked in the recent past. Some of my others like to spill their bowls but she doesn't. Doesn't scale rot usually happen because of damp conditions.

    If you go the betadine route make sure it's 1% and water it down to the concistency of tea.. Too strong and it could actually burn the snake. Also you can use tripple anti biotic ointment like a&d ointment. Clean it a few times a day and apply the ointment, it should clear it up. But if you are concerned definately go see a vet, they will give you definate answers. Hope that helps!! And good luck!

    I have to wait until monday to grab some betadine. In the mean time, im just keeping it clean, and I picked up some tripple polysporin. Also im trying to locate a reptile vet in the Kitchener Waterloo area of ontario. Anybody got any leads on that?
    Thanks for everyones help and if you have any more ideas, im open to suggestions.

    Some Pet Stores will sell a product called Vetericyn. It's 100%, not anti-biotic, no painkiller, developed for animals. It oxygenates the wound/ sore and helps feed the white blood cells trying to heal or fight bacteria. It's safe enough to spray on the inside of pets' mouths even (though I wouldn't suggest it) and safe for humans even. If you can get your hands on it, It's incredible stuff.
