    Dehydrated ball python?
    I'm thinking my ball python may or may not be dehydrated, but I don't really know. The skin on his neck and tail is loose and wrinkly(he is balled up). He did just eat yesterday, so the wrinkling on his neck is normal, but what about his tail?

    He is in a tub, and I do fully clean his water bowl out every 2 days, and it always looks like the exact same amount of water everytime I do.

    Here's a picture of his tail:

    What do you guys think?

    Nothing to worry about there. Looks normal to me. If you are worried about his hydration just up the amount of humidity in his tub

    Looks good. :) Love that ringer.

    A dehydrated snake has a very distinct look to it. Here's a pic: http://www.captivebredreptileforums....06pics0001.jpg

    The water may seem the same level, but he's drinking, plus they get a lot of moisture from their food.

    The snake in the picture you posted is not dehydrated...
