Re: my boas jaw is stuck
Can't tell very much what the alignment looks like but if it's just the skin fold don't worry. Sometimes eating will cause it to stretch out. If it's his actual jaw, give it a little time before you panic and then if it doesn't go back after a few days...VET visit.

Re: my boas jaw is stuck
PLEASE don't jump on this advice. I'm just throwing it out there for the experts to make a opinion on.
How about in one more day (tomorrow) if it's still not aligned, feed it a very small pinkie rat (or whatever size is very small to her, I don't know how big your snake is), I'd think your snake will try to re-align it again afterwards.
Again, don't act on this idea until the more experienced guys chime in.

Re: my boas jaw is stuck
also, check and make sure that its teeth are not "snagged" on anythign preventing it from closing its mouth.

Re: my boas jaw is stuck
Just checking... do you know your snake is not supposed to be shedding in pieces? Your humidity is probably off.

Re: my boas jaw is stuck
Check for any cottage cheese like looking substance. He very easily could've broken a tooth or 2 and it caused an abcess and mouth rot hence the possibility of swelling. If so you are going tohave to take him to a vet unless you feel comfortable treating it yourself.
