That body, to me, looks to "active" for a pin.

Re: Help! What's this morph.
That animal is not healthly. I wouldnt mess w it, period. It has stuck shed, looks very thin and dehydrated. Who knows why it got that way, but I wouldnt mess w it. And its likely a spinner.

Re: Help! What's this morph.
Regardless of the morph, I'd rescue the poor thing and place it into immediate quarantine until you can be sure that it's mite and parasite free. I've taken in some rough looking rescues, but it's so worth the work they require.

Doesn't look that skinny to me, just needs a few meals in her belly to fatten her up. You could also try giving it a large soaking bowl and put the snake right in the water, it my stay there until it sheds.
Totally agree! Bad stuck shed doesn't mean that the animal is unhealthy by any means it points more to a humidity issue. The snake looks well fed, but a good mite treatment and QT is totally in order for sure. Its someones pet that they didn't really have the best top notch husbandry. I deal with at least a dozen stuck sheds every month. Its why I switched to Repti-chip.
