Has anyone every had a snake fail to realign their jaw after feeding? One of my boas ate last night and now his lower "lip" is bent in. It looks like the teeth might actually be stuck in his mouth. He is still able to flick his tongue, but he looks horrible. I just fed him, so I do not want to hold him today, but I did try to gently move it, but it's not budging. I figure I will probably have to take him into the vet - really nervous about infection at this point. Any advice in the meantime? Is it ok to wait a few days to let him digest before taking him in? So far it has been like this for 24 hours.  I thought I would ask you guys too since I know a lot of you have a variety of snakes and this might have happened with one of them.
