Ball python skin problem

[BallPython17]

My friend gave me these 2 ball pythons he got from a friend and they were really skinny especially the female. Now the thing about her is that her skin feels really dry and on her back she has a skin fold thats stuck together and I dont know how to fix it. And what should I do to make her skin not feel dry?

Well, first off it sounds like you need to feed her, and provide a good tub/tank with good humidity and a lot of water to drink.

I think since you just got her in, you just need to let her relax, eat, get big and fat, and let her shed.

If after her shed with you she still has the skin problem, I would suggest taking her to a vet for a prognosis.

Or you could post photos on here.

But to me it sounds (with not so much to go on) like a stuck shed...
