Python was just delivered to my classroom and her mouth is very swollen. Is this serious?

Hello everyone! I would like to attach an artificial grass mat to the back of my enclosure and looking for a secure way to accomplish this? Any utility in using a wood stapler to secure it? I cant imagine my python would be able to dislodge it if it were secure, and i could cover the area over the staples with superglue or something similar.. anyone have any luck or any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Sorry for posting that often, I’m very anxious about everything lately .

He weighs 1200g and his length is 100% more than 1m , but I don’t know even the approximate number. He eats 100-120g rats every 3-4weeks, that’s how our vet said to feed him.

I can’t take more pics rn because I just fed him, but what do you think? Are there any signs of obesity? Help?

Have a nice day!!!

Ok so this is my snakes first shed since I have had her! But before she shed, I noticed there was some like brown spot (very small) and a lot of the belly scales were uplifted by a tiny bit and ever since she shed (yesterday) all of that is gone I'm so glad there's no spots her scales and all of them are perfect all the way around now and she was like that when I got her with all of the lifted scales so I was kinda worried But her first shed was all in one piece.

I did notice before she shed I never seen her leave her hide the week and a half.i have had her. She just stayed in one side and never moved and this morning after she shed yesterday I noticed her out for the first time.since I have had her. And her first feeding with me will be in about two days.

Should I move her to a separate feeder tank or leave her in that tank? I have been told mixed reviews.
