His head shape is a little strange, but if he eats just fine I don't see a problem. A vet could do an x-ray, but there is nothing you can do about a deformity like that. So I wouldn't see the point.

I know you said you were using a thermostat, but the nearly 2 week long pink belly leads me to believe it is a burn. Could you tell us where the thermostat probe is placed and where your probe for the thermometer is placed? These two small things can have a big impact on the temp the snake actually feels.

He had the pink belly when I purchased him, which I too think it may have been a burn where he was kept, and thats why it turned grey after I had him a little while and he started healing, its looking better now. Heres how I have the tank set up, the UTH is attached to the bottom of one side, then I placed a layer of green felt tank liner inside the cage over the heater then a layer of aspen bedding throughout the tank. Over the heated side I have a rock hide, and inside the hide on top of the bedding I have the thermostat probe/thermometer. On the cool side I have another thermometer/hydrometer.
