Hi All,

Unfortunately, I discovered one of my ball pythons has somehow gotten one of her upper teeth through her upper lip. It almost looks like if a person had curled one side of their lip into their mouth.

At first I thought, could she have had a stroke or something, because there is no trauma in the area and I could not see the tooth. I would take a picture, but the teeth are so small I can't pick it up with my cellphone's camera. But I have confirmed it is indeed her tooth and it only appears to be one tooth through the lip.

Has anyone here ever experienced this and if so, do you have any recommendations on how I could resolve it? I'm very happy to take her to a vet as well, but want to reduce the stress on her if possible. (Since she recently ate I want to be cautious about moving her around too much)

She had a meal the night before last(I feed all of my gang F/T,) at which point I believe this happened to her. I first noticed it the morning after the feeding when I went to check on her but didn't want to move her around too much since she just ate, so today I got her out and was able to examine what happened.

I have other various types of snakes and have never had something like this occur, so I really appreciate any insight you can lend. She's a sweetheart and I want to get her back to normal as soon as I can.

Thank you for any insight you can offer!
