Folded Skin?
So i bought a baby ball about 1.5 months ago, the first snake i've owned before. he was completely healthy: eating once a week, active, drinking and such, and handled every day almost. So his first shed comes along about two weeks after i got him and i assumed it was a crappy shed because the pieces were all over his enclosure, but i also assumed that it was a full shed, i think i was wrong. Now about 3 weeks later, from the start of his neck to about 4 inches down, his skin folds, basically really loose skin. I've read that this is signs of dehydration, but i don't think this can be because its only at the start of his body, and he drink a lot. So i guess it must be a stuck shed that just didn't come off, and appears to make him have more skin? I've soaked him for an hour a day for the past three days, and a some shed came off, but the folds obviously aren't gone... Any suggestions
To dumb it down:
-He had a bad first shed
-I assumed it was a full shed so i didn't soak him during his shed because i didn't know it was a stuck shed ( first snake )
- Now he has foldy loose skin from the start to 4inches down his neck
- Anybody experienced this,.. any suggestions?
