    I agree, tooth, impaction, rot, something infected. Good Luck. Keep us posted please.

    Yep, most likely broken teeth. I have three that strike very hard and break teeth time to time. One pit fall to the aggressive feeder.

    *just because they are broken, does not always mean infection though. Not saying a vet visit is a bad idea, just saying broken teeth do not always cause infection. Also not saying it is defiantly broken teeth.

    Almost positive that is an infection, probably going to get anti inflammatory and antibiotics shots for you to give to her over the next few weeks. I've had to do it a with a couple different snakes now

    UPDATE 9/2/2016:

    The vet visit went great. If you live near Charlotte NC, the avian and exotics clinic in Huntersville is really amazing. She really knows her stuff. She discovered an opportunistic bacterial infection that had caused an abscess and was swelling her head. She lanced the infection and drained the pus out and gave us shots to give her for the next two months. She's doing much, much better and the swelling in her head is greatly reduced. She's acting fine and still taking food!
