I havent really looked that close at the snakes head but when I was looking at it wasn't to me seriously deformed looking. I am gonna let him settle in a little but I will look a little closer at it, it might just be the angle or something? But either way as long as he appears "happy" has not trouble eating and grows up healthy. A slight head misshaping is fine. Wasnt really in my current breeding plans so he is more of a pet then a project.
