Tonight I was feeding my 4 ft Hypo het Anery and she struck at the plexi on the front of her cage while I was cleaning out another cage. I then noticed her breathing really hard out of her mouth and making a hissing sound. I coaxed her out with a stick b/c she was being really aggressive and put her on the floor and cover her with a towel. I then grasped her around the head area and used a spoon to try to open her mouth. I rinsed the mouth out with some water and then I saw a lil blood. I think when she hit the side of the cage she may have broken a tooth or two.

Does any one else's snake his when it is pi**ed off or was she breathing like that because she hurt herself and if so what would be the best course of action.

I appreciate all your help. I do not have a vet around where I am currenty accessable to that specializes in Reptiles.
