Wrinkles on ball python: Dehydration. Sammy when he got here was wrinkle free, but about a week ago I noticed he has wrinkles on him, they're getting worse by the week. I have 2 things in mind that might be the reason why he's not drinking. His temps are perfect, so I believe it's the heat pad or the water bowl. The pad is way too large, covers more than half the tub. The waterbowl is one of those water/hide combo, so I think he misinterprets that for a hide besides a water bowl. He has been using the combo as a hide lately, so I'm gonna fix up his heat pad and his water bowl. Your thoughts are appreciated!
