    Wrinkly looking skin
    My balls skin is wrinkly looking when he bends. Is this normal, as I heard it could be dehydration???? If its normal does it mean anything or is that just what it does all the time? If its not normal, is it dehydration or what?

    Pics would help. Could be a host of issues. Dehydration and underfeeding are probably the most common reasons.

    OK, thats what I was thinking because his belly is a little pink, and I know its not burnt! But His eyes do look a TINY bit cloudy, but not much. I just upped his humidity level to about 63% to help him out.....keeping the humidity up in a glass tank sure is a pain though I will tell you that lol.

    But gimme a little bit and I will see if I can snap you guys a pic!

    Pic sound good, probably a shed, but can't tell much without a pic.

    Cover the tank with a damp towel, keep dampening it until the shed has happened. Or switch to a tub, waaaaaaay easier to maintain proper conditions. not as aesthetically pleasing, though :(

    Also, I am going to use the towel trick to get the humidity up!!!! I am thinking about buying an adjustable humidifier for reptiles if that sounds like a good idea??
