Hello all,

I'm having an issue with my one and only ball python, Gordon. I got him last month at Repticon: Atlanta and he's been doing great -I converted him to f/t, he's gaining weight, he's got a great attitude..etc (he's about 4 months old now).

I'm concerned because the other day I noticed that the teeth/flesh of his upper jaw were protruding out over his lower jaw on one side. He has not been like this for long - I regularly examine all of my animals; plus when I fed him the other day he was not like this. I have not ran into this issue before with any of my boas and I'm rather worried about him. I know it's probably not comfortable for him to snag his teeth on things. I'm also concerned this could lead to mouth rot or some other infection.
