well i just purchased this one yesterday after bringing it home and having a closer look i noticed no flickerig of the tongue and also the bottom jaw seems to be off to the side, i opened her mouth and it doesnt look so good in there i can see she tries moving her tongue around and mostly goes out to the side? any ideas? i will take pics first thing in the morning.

Just a thought. Can you take it back to the breeder or pet shop and exchange it for another one? After all you only had it for a day.

Just exchange it, i think that is a little too disturbing of a description. It may be that you have fallen for this animal, but speaking from personal experience, the charity case animals are just pure heartache in most instances.
I wish you the best, but I think you have a bad problem with that animal.
Sometimes, however, a snake will get it's jaw a bit cattywampus and it will look REALLY weird. If it doesn't self-correct inside of 24 hours it may have some serious oral damage or something worse

Of course it's my opinion, I said it, didn't I?
