I was feeding the pythons and noticed that my diamonds jaw was out of shape after not eating her fuzzy.

Not sure if its dislocated and she'll fix it herself. The last time one of my snakes jaw was out of shape, it was the lower sitting outside the upper and he fixed it himself later on. She doesn't seem stressed as she was fine sitting in my hands and moving around.

Anyone else seen this before?

This one is partly out of focus due to her wanting to keep moving.

yeah, i seen it a fair few times. longest it lasted was about an hour before my old girl righted herself.....usually get a big yawn to help re-locate everything
 
Very typical during feeding.

Snakes jaws unhook at either side near the eyes and also on the front/middle of the bottom jaw. Effectively making 3 pieces.

I would say nothing to worry about snake will fix it

Well it's not really near the eyes but up top. You know what I mean :)
 
Cheers, like I said my Bredli had done it before but the opposite way.... just hadn't seen that way before.

Cheers again
 
My darwin yearling had the same problem a month ago it should fix up overnight
