Deformed ball python

[sho220]

I found a local ball that is "deformed". He is free to a good home, I'm wondering if it would be better for the snake to just be put down or if it is possible for it to live a "healthy" life. Here is the link, I also copied and pasted the text. I e-mailed the owner asking more about it.

This Mojave ball has a deformity of the right mandible, probably caused by a heat spike in incubation. Because of this, *he cannot eat on his own* and can't consume food larger than rat pinks. It's quite a bit easier to syringe feed him, however.
He is free to the right home.

Should be put down in my opinion.
