Baby Snow boa inquiry: Early sign of Mouth Rot?

I have a female baby snow boa, I think I'm just being paranoid but can anyone tell me if my boa is getting Mouth Rot. I took a pic with my phone, sorry about the quality but her mouth isn't swollen and there's no discoloration or foamy saliva discharge or crustiness. It's just the way she holds her mouth, maybe I just didn't notice it before but I need to be reassured. Your wisdom and knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

You're gonna have to try again with the pics. From that shot, I THINK her mouth is cracked open, but that's the best help I could offer, based on the pic.

What symptoms is she showing? Is she acting differently than normal? (Or have you had her long enough to see a change in her "personality"?) Do you have a good reptile vet, IF you need to take her in?

A much better quality picture, temperature and humidity readings would greatly help. Is she feeding fine?

She is fine. She actually ate that night, before I had posted the thread. I think it was because she had a stuck shed and she still had a piece on her chin, I think that might have been why she was holding her mouth like that. She's the only boa I have so I tend to over-stress, and I was looking at some mouth rot pics and when I seen her mouth I just started thinking maybe that's what it was, kind of a hypochondriac reaction I guess you could say, except it was for my boa . I only have my phone for a camera and it doesn't zoom in and it only focuses when the object is farther rather than closer so that's why the pic is blurry. Anyways, she's not acting different at all and I know of a vet that specializes in reptiles, specifically boa, that I can take her to if anything.
