Good morning,
My daughter just got a ball python. We were told he has only eaten once since thanksgiving. We were not too concerned since I had read in my research they can go off food sometimes. We have had him a week, left him alone, no holding. He is in a 30 gallon breeder on coconut fiber, and cypress and have moss as well. He has two hides and lots of greenery and wood to climb. He still didn't eat a week later.

Yesterday I happened to go in my daughters room and saw him making strange mouth movements, not like a stretch or yawn, but more like a grinding. I then noticed inside his mouth is dark? I took a video, and a still of the inside of his mouth.



I already called the vet and made and appt for thursday, but wondered if anyone here has seen this before


Thanks
Kelly
