Country:
corn has hurt itself, advice please

Hello I am new to this website and am hoping you guys can help me. I have an 18 month old corn snake, I've just fed her and as she was feeding I filled up her water and let her be.

About 5 minutes later I walked past her vivarium and she lunged herself at the glass of the viv extremely hard. I naturally looked closely and she did it again. I know snakes are probably at their most dangerous after just being fed but I am extremely worried she's hurt herself. Her lower jaw is flat and it is almost as if she has an overbite now.

she herself seems fine, she was just drinking her water and she doesn't seem to be overly stressed about it. However seeing her little face all bent freaks the hell out of me.

my local vet doesn't tend to snakes or lizards so I am kind of stuffed. I have read about these type of things happening and they have corrected themselves after a few days.

anybody had this before? she must n'half knocked it! If that was me i'd be on the floor unconscious!

TIA
