Baby BP Wrinkly & Dry.

    Hello guys, I have a similar problem with wrinkles and do not want to start a new thread, so I am posting here. Today I was cleaning my BP's enclosure and when I took him out I noticed this wrinkles (see photos - sorry for the quality, took with iPhone). I keep humidity between 50-60%, the temps are fine and he also has a large water bowl in his enclosure, so I do not think he may be suffering from dehydration.
    Could you suggest any other ideas as to what might have caused this wrinkles/loose skin when my ball bends?

    Thank you all.

    sorry if its a bit of topic but I use non-digital hydrometers and was wondering what is wrong with them?

    Non-digital instrumentation can be very inaccurate, especially when you consider the "cheap" options out there.

    My little dude gets this to, though I'm new to BPs, and I've only had mine for a month now. He still hasn't shed and his temps and humidity is great. It seems to be getting worse, idk if that's the shedding process starting or what. I'd love some insight.

    Bend your finger. Look at the wrinkles. Same thing.

    metalsmoker, that's perfectly normal. Skin wrinkles when the body bends.

    So can digital ones. I wouldn't even bother, judge it by his sheds, if he's shedding well then the humidity is fine, if he isn't then it's too low. The snake looks fine, small for 3 months but aside from that I don't see any signs of malnourishment. I would agree with increasing to adult mice though, he should be fine and after he eats a cpl toss a live rat pup in and see what happens

    It was just a shed. He's golden now.
