OMFG!!! somebody help me please

[armbarvictim]

Jesus Christ!!! My mouse was eating his usual today, 2 fuzzies. while swallowing the last one I looked at him and oh my god!!

He has a slit, like half an inch long on his bottom jaw in the middle, I COULD SEE THE MOUSE HAIR THROUGH IT!!!!!

I feel terrible, he doesn't appear to be uncomfortable or anything but it is really scaring me if you can't tell.

Please somebody what do I do?

You're sure it's a slit and you didn't just see the mouse hair through it's skin while it was swallowing?

If so, I'd get it to the vet stat, something like that will have to be stitched or stapled up.

I think you might be over-reacting.
Can you get a picture or open his mouth to see if there's a wound?

[LadyOhh]

If you are that concerned, take it to a vet.

does it look something like this?

[armbarvictim]

I am freaking right out man. Yes I seen hair through wait seemed to be a slit in the bottom of his jaw. after he was done I looked at the bottom of his jaw and there is a straight line sort of indented where I seen the hole.

I have seen this indentation before when I first got him but never noticed a hole. Looking at it now it doesn't look like a wound, but it actually looks like it is supposed to be there, Do your guys' snakes have this line on the bottom jaw?

I definitely seen hair through this area though, that is for sure.

[armbarvictim]

that is exactly what it looks like...... Can you see hair through that when the mouse is going through?

[Fallguy]

Please remain calm. This is normal. It is menat to be like that to allow the lower jaw to expand to accept the food.

Did you mean you actually saw strands of fur sticking OUT of the skin or that you could see rodent fur THROUGH the skin?

I've never seen hair go THROUGH the skin.

[armbarvictim]

I am not sure now if it was sticking through the skin but if not the skin was pretty damn transparent there
