    Re: I found an Albino Garden Snake

    Her mouth puckers on both sides a couple days before she sheds then her mouth goes back to looking normal

    Definitely looks like somethings going on with the upper lips.
    Any chance we can get a photo from the side? Below the head so it shows the under side of the upper lip.
    It would be helpful.
    You should also check that latest shed to make sure all the Supralabial (upper lip) scales came off.

    Our NWs pucker a little just before shed too. It could be a NW thing. Hey Chantel, does Mama do that? They go right back to normal after shed also.

    She doesn't pucker, none of them do, except Snap. She's not a northwestern, though.

    Photo #3 shows a couple minor swollen areas. Could be healing or be a minor active infection.
    Sometimes retained supralabials can cause that look.
