When you are done just be careful as you remove the spatula that you don't catch on any of their teeth which are recurved. The spatula will open the snake's mouth and keep it open while you have a look inside. Being made of soft rubber it won't injure the snake if you take things slow and easy. Make sure to disinfect it afterwards of course.
thank you for the trick. I was set on taking him to the vet today but while i was checking up on him last night. He managed to get his mouth corrected and he looks good as new. I'm still a bit concerned about feeding. Should I continue to feed on schedule or should I wait until the next feeding day?
