Please help!!!!! My ball python has a weird mouth! One side of her upper lip goes in

Hey that's WONDERFUL news! It really looked like a chunk was missing, what a happy outcome! You did great taking her to the vet, & your vet was worth
every penny! And your BP is back to looking the part of a beautiful happy snake.

BTW, I've seen snakes get their jaws hooked on their own teeth before, but that never occurred to me with yours. I've never seen one that looked at all
like your snake did, so thank you for sharing so we can all learn from your experience.

Thank you!!! Yeah I was so worried and it really looked like the piece was missing! I hope if anyone see this thread and met this situation like me in the future will no need be too panic lol! I was too worried and woke up multiple times during the night! Now I hope the she will get well soon! But I'm not sure is there anything I should be very careful when give her the liquid medicine and cleansing gel. I saw they just inject it in her mouth very easily and I hope I can do it well too lol!

Over the years I've found that snakes can tell by the way we hold or touch them (with empathy!) that we are trying to help them, & they don't fight much, almost
as if they can read my mind. I know you'll do fine...be firm but gentle, & your snake will understand.

You are suggesting that it can be re-attached & heal up?

Obviously not lol. I was just curious if it’s location in the cage could provide a context clue as to what may have transpired to cause the affliction.

That said, glad you figured out what happened and that the issue is resolved! I would have been horrified as well.

Thank you!!! I hope it won't make her drown or something since snakes can't cough, and she won't hurt her neck when she try to escape from my finger when i try to hold her head tightly and the antibiotics won't have any bad influence on her............ Ah I think I always worry too much!
