Something on my snakes face

Question
I have a columbian boa. I noticed a clear thorn like thing above her mouth. I don't know if it is a sliver (but it is clear), a mouse claw, or what. I am just worried if it is some kind of parasite. Please let me know asap. I am worried about it.

Answer
Hi Derek
From what you told me it could possibly be a sliver of some sort since you said it was clear. If it wasn't clear it most likely would be a mite.  Did you attempt to remove it with tweezers?  You might try to do that if she'll let you and it is small enough. I am also giving you a great site to check out about snake parasites.  Copy and paste the address into your web browser and then click on the section about Parasites. If anything...you should take her to a Vet who specializes in reptiles for a thorough checkup.  Snakes can carry internal parasites as well.  Good luck and let me know what happens.
Here is the site;
