had a wolf snake come in the mail other day. they said he was flighty and defensive. had him for 3 days now and he seems sick. wont move at all in enclosure. very lethargic does not want to move at all. wont open its mouth even. im actually hoping it bites because to feel better about it not being sick! it may have mouth rot though not sure as usually they would open mouth if was the case and as stated, she does not open her mouth at all.the shipping was shitty box was messed up she definetly had a tough ride. any ideas would be helpful. i was excited to have her so i can help teach my son how to work with a flighty specimen. now im just bummed out that i might have a potentially dying snake.
 
Shipped to you via the US mail? :face_palm_02:

From where? Any chances it could have been exposed to cold temps along the way?

yes us mail and potentially. but the delivery kid was a sadist. my box had plants in it and it was all damaged. they must of shook it profusely.

Damn that’s terrible. However I don’t think even shaking the box could cause the broken jaw. If it is broken or even the broken spine.

u can hear the bone crack as she tries to move. i can feel it. it literally crack. the jaw is just what im speculating but i literally cannot force feed. she will not open her mouth. if u pry any harder im worried i will damage
 
Take it to a vet for x-rays to see what is going on. I have heard of snakes being injured in shipping and recovering, but they need a lot of TLC and supportive care.

I’d have a hard time believing injuries like that were not present prior to shipping
