It goes back to normal....don't worry...

snakes have 4 different seperate bones in their jaw, so that they can move each side independently.
This allows them to eat such large meals, aswell as other modifications aswell.
They should go back to normal, usually with a massive yawn that looks really cool.

They always look a bit thicker when they have eaten with the stretching but it goes back

This is most often seen when they are fed a second meal about 5 minutes after the other. Being stretched a second time tends to make the neck skin very loose and flabby looking. Whether this happens with one meal or two, it's no need for concern. The skin will tighten back up.
