I have a gayana red-tail boa and he hurt himself by trying to go through a hole that was to small for him(he got stuck half way through). By doing so he dislocated his jaw but it wont go back completely. I managed to put it straighter but he still has a wierd slant to it. He aslo seems like he might have crushed some bones on one side. The rest of him is doing fine and he doesnt seen to afected by it but I just wanted to now if there was a way to make it better so he can eat.(havent tried to feed him yet found him 2h ago).Can you please give me advice. thx
Ideally he should be seen by a qualified reptile vet. The jaw may need to be wired into place for a short time so that bones and connective tissue can knit back together so that everything realigns properly.
