My 4yr old have developed swollen lower jaws but its more on one side and rest of mouth isnt open like it does in ganker. Doesnt seem to be happy about it. been that way for about 3 days. Mite be a vet trip coming soon. thanks.
 
I am not an expert by any means, but I have seen a couple of pythons with abscesses in at work. Might be an abscess? If that's the case it may have to be drained and then have a course of antibiotic injections.

EDIT- Yes definitely get it to a vet

Vet booked in for later today. See what happens besides my pockets getting emptied. lol

Yeah it has some fluid build up in the saliva glands not the mouth and 6 antibiotic shots might do the trick. Left the vet with 5 needles, a bleeding arm (she didnt like the needle) and lighter pockets by a ok amount. See what happens in a week.
