Brown rat snake appears to have deformed lower jaw

I've just purchased a very sweet brown rat snake from craigslist.

I think he has been neglected. The vivarium he came with stank to high heaven, and didn't have a heating mat.

Something is strange with his mouth.

If I look at his head from below, it looks as though the lower jaw is slightly too narrow. The upper jaw overhangs slightly. They don't match up properly.

Here's a pic:

I'm just fishing for information and experience here. He's a lovely snake.

Also, I'm planning to try getting him eating quails' eggs. So I would like to know whetherIt is healthy to feed him on only quails' eggs, or whether I need to throw in the occasional mouse.
