Crooked Lip

[Reptile_Addict]

My Stimsons Python shed sometime in the last 2 days and when I got him out for the first time since he shed I noticed the front of his bottom lip is not correctly aligned. I'm guessing this is a result of him shedding and was wondering if a vet appointment was in order or not. I haven't fed him since he went cloudy 2 weeks ago so I could feed him and see if he aligns his lip on his own, or is that a bad idea?

Cheers,
Matt

Not worth worrying about at this stage mate. If he feeds ok it'll probably settle back into place.

Yep - feed and see what happens. Sometimes the lip can get hooked on teeth when the snake is pushing against objects while shedding, a feed will probably sort it out.
