Re: Random Holes in Snakes Head?!
This to me looks like mites. Mites will eat through and cause holes on the bottom of a snakes head.

I've also seen this on one or two of my snakes, though not so severe, but it went away after a few sheds. Could this perhaps be from eating a meal that was too large? or something like that?
It is a little bizarre, but I have seen this sort of thing posted before...so it must be from some common issue..

There was just another post about something similar today I believe. Would be very curious to know what it is.

I know mites would suck a snake dry, but I've never heard of mites "eating through" a snake. Is there known cases on this happening???

I have a snake that has a very, very similar injury. Posted a thread in May, she looked like this
She has shed since then, and is starting to heal--now it looks more like this:
(I don't have an updated pic but she now has normal jaw shape and it looks scabbed over)
Still a long way to go, but she's getting better. It turns out there was a bit of a gap in the one corner above her bin, and she tried to squeeze her head out when she smelled food. She scraped herself up real good--not that I can say this is what happened with yours, but it looks very similar.

How strange. It's strange that it's always in the same spot. Perhaps it is from rubbing.

Re: Random Holes in Snakes Head?!
Did you buy the snake like that? I would agree with everybody to take it to the vet because that is not normal. What does he act like?
