Shed in mouth (and how exactly do you open a small snake's mouth?)

[chris-uk]

Do I understand the scales were in her mouth or were they still attached to the new scales?

The scales were "loose" in her mouth, as if she'd swallowed a small section of shed and it had got stuck in her mouth.

Sounds like that is what happened.

I've used the credit card method. It works very well.

So after it was removed the mouth sealed properly?

Yep, the mouth seemed to be sealed properly. I'm going to have another look at her in an hour or so, that's given her some time to relax before I put her under the magnifier again.
