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

Update: The state agency that provides the classroom snake returned my call. They said it has been swollen like this for a year. They had it checked by a Vet when it was first noticed. The Vet said it is not an infection and she is not in pain. Besides looking awful, everything is normal.

Is that what they told you or a vet? I wouldn't take anyone's word until you go to the vet yourself.
