    Dehydrated snake or normal?
    Hi guys. So my bp just went through her first shed with me, she's about 3 months old. It was kinda incomplete so there were little snake skin bits all in her tank. I soaked her last Thursday (today is Monday) the day she shed to remove the remaining skin. I then left her alone for about six hours and tried to feed. She showed interest but wouldn't eat. I tried again last night with the same results . I give her 24 hours with no handling before feeding always. So a few hours after she refused to feed last night I took her out to check her out. I've been kinda concerned she might be dehydrated. Since she shed one of her eyes looks like it has a wrinkle. And I did the pinch skin test up near her head where they have more skin less muscle, and the skin takes a bit to lay back down flat. Any thoughts?

    It's really hard to say without seeing pictures to be honest.

    Try and get a close up one of the eye and another one showing her body from the side. That should help us have more of an idea what is going on. :gj:
