Wrinkled skin? Help!

I picked up my snake's water bowl to change the water, and since he perfers to hide under it, I noticed that his skin is really wrinkly.
He's eaten once since I got him and hasn't shed yet. I haven't noticed clouded eyes of anything like most people say happens.
Could someone help me get a clue about what's going on?
The help would be appreiciated!

It's probably one of two things, either he is going into shed or he's dehydrated.

What is the humidity level in the cage? And what are the cage temperatures?

Can you post a picture?

What species is he?

When I first bought my first snake, the humidity was crap and its first shed made it look like a prune.

If that's what you have going on here, you should start giving daily soaks or use the pillow case trick to help it re-hydrate and shed properly.

We need pics to determine if that's what's going on though

All Temps are normal, the humidity is at 56%. I will try to get a picture if I can.

He's a normal ball, I forgot to mention that

Boost the humidity up to around 70% this will help in either case. Do NOT soak him as this can cause more harm than good.

Just for my own personal knowledge how is soaking harmful?

Will do. He's over at his water bowl now since I pulled him out to look. I'll try to get pics up here shortly

+1 for dehydration or poor himidity and a shed.......
