Mouth Condition Photo - opinions wanted...

(I have already posted this message in the "Burmese" forum, but I'm looking to get as much feedback as possible since this can be a general python question. I do appreciate any good advice I can get. Thanks in advance, - Mark.)

If you have experience enough to know whether this is a healthy looking mouth, please let me know. Also, if you see that this is not an optimal 'smile', please let me know what may be wrong or what it is that could be wrong.

I very much appreciate any info.

Thanks,
- Mark

Here's a photo I just took of my labyrinth burm's mouth:

Mark,
there may be some reddening of the maxillary outer anterior gums on the front right of the upper jaw within your snakes mouth. This looks like a normal yawn, is that so?
If the snake is off feed,and not due to breeing condition you should keep a close eye for mouthrot. If you dont know how to check the mouth, see a vet or experienced keeper for how to re eval mouth.
