    There is never an appropriate time to power feed a snake, it is bad for their health.

    This means one of 2 things (and they can be related)

    1. your snake is dehydrated
    2. Your snake is having a bad shed

    To fix this you need to soak your snake in warm water for 20-30 minutes. You want the water to be around 85 degrees F

    Re: wrinkled skin ???

    He had a bad shed , but I got all of the old shed off after soaking & using a damped towel. So was the fix for a bad shed?
