Re: Snake Jaw Alignment Or Broken - HELP
I have had a dumeril's boa do this after striking and missing, and she righted herself after two days....and I have had my sand boa have a dislodged lower jaw/chin...it was more towards the end of her face, chin area, instead of jaw..kind of where the split is on their chin that opens up when they expand for food.
That was entirely my fault and i *freaked* out.
I got very dramatic : )
She managed to fix herself, and after about a week looked normal....however she did let it sag a big when she ate. She eats perfectly fine now, months later.
Time heals all wounds so they say!
Good luck!
BTW you shouldn't see any blood if you open the mouth. If you can hold him still to see if the skin is caught on a tooth...you can carefully use something dull but precise to unhook it. If you dont' see that, then i'd just let it be for a while and he'll adjust it : )
