het pied has a slight overbite?
So I had my het pied girl out tonight. I noticed that she seems to have a slight overbite. Never noticed it before. She is about 500g, eats just fine. Should this be something to be concerned about? I've always thought her eyes looked a like bugged out too. I'm hoping this won't be a problem breeding her. Could it have been an incubation issue?

Common. Every ball python has a slightly different head/face shape. Most of them have a slight overbite. Her nose does thrust forward a bit more than average, but I've seen plenty with that look.
Can't really tell on the eyes. They look normal in those photos. Would need a larger picture, preferably an overhead shot, to really tell.
Sometimes it's hard to split the line between "quirky" and "defect". I do have a very pretty pied female who has one eye that's smaller than the other. Nobody else ever notices it. I've given up worrying about it.

That looks normal, usually if there's something wrong the mouth will not be fully closed.
