    Droopy lip?

    Checked on Lucy when I got up and found her lip looking droopy. I've seen this before sometimes after she eats, but not happening randomly.

    She's happily exploring her tank like usual, doesn't seem bothered by it at all. My guess is that she may have smushed it a bit while sleeping as she likes to hide her head between her coils. I just want to make sure nothing's wrong.

    Well, she ate and shed last week, that's why I was concerned. Possibly it was snagged on a tooth. She has that side of her face pressed against the glass now and the droop seems gone, haha. I will check again later.

    One of my boas did that and I had to lift her lip and sort it, worth a look often they sort it them selves
