    Hatchling born unable to open its mouth

    I'm a new breeder and in my 2nd clutch I hatched a ball python (on 7/11/19) that seems to be normal except that it will not eat no matter what is presented. I finally caved and tried to "force feed" a pinky rat, only to find out that the snake is unable to open its mouth more than enough to get its tongue out. It really seems to be fused shut. She is able to drink and otherwise seems to be a healthy snake. Does anyone have experience with this issue? Thanks
