Thats not right, Ive never seen a snake look like that. I'd be getting her to a vet quick smart

 

[yommy]

Like the others have mentioned not normal looking. Does she look normally when not in shed?

 

[Spent]

looks like stimitus - not sure of the spelling - mouth infection - have you opened its mouth to check it teeth and for any yellow discharge or blood ?

 

[daveandem2011]

Looks like it may have come in contact with the same sht the ninja turtles did.

 

[MonitorMayhem]

as others have said does not look good please see a vet

 

[moussaka]

Took her to the vet first time she did it because it freaked me out. By the time i got to the vet she had already shed in the bag and the head was normal size. The vet checked her over x-rayed her heart and lungs, poked her, prodded her and did a faecal test. Everything came back normal. She doesn't do it every shed. All the vet could put it down to was she was starting off a difficult. She has now shed and is back to normal. As usual on this forum there is cries of hysteria and the experts come out the woodwork to question : 1. Your intelligence 2. your ability to keep reptiles.
As you will no doubt notice i have been a member of this forum for a while and am reluctant to post due to this reason.
You try and show people different things and it creates a mass panic.
