Yesterday, when I got everybody out to feed them, my adult male boa's lower jaw was misaligned, and he didn't want to eat. He looked like he might be going to shed, so I figured maybe he'd been rubbing against things in his cage and that's why his jaw was messed up. I hadn't seen him in blue, but I've been so busy this week I have just been checking water bowls and cleaning any messes, so I may have just not noticed. Anyway, I left him alone, and checked on him again before bed. His jaw was still crooked, and now he was wheezing a little. So I separated him from the female he was with, and figured I'd call the vet today. This morning he was back to normal, no wheezing no crooked jaw. So, I figured maybe the crooked jaw had put his trachea in a weird position and caused the wheezing. I checked him out, and he was active and seemed fine. So, back in with the girl he goes. About half an hour later, his jaw is crooked again. Do I call the vet? Could he have somehow injured his jaw, making the ligaments "loose"? Or do I wait and see? The inside of his mouth looks fine. Any ideas? This is what the poor guy looks like.
