    Wrinkly? Dehydrated?

    We got Willow on the 14th of October and it took her one f/t meal and about 2 weeks to finally pee. There was a poop, hard urate and liquid pee. I also caught her taking a drink that day too. She was 2.5 months old when we got her so born beginning of August. In this pic she said 134g (with last week's meal still in error belly.) She gets one f/t fuzzy rat a week. (Like...just turned to fuzzy I think because the bellies don't have fur but the bodies do.) She swallows it fast too! Under 5 mins.

    Since then she's voraciously eaten a second f/t meal, but, there hasn't been any more poops or pees and we noticed she was quite wrinkly when we held her for the first time.

    So, only 1 bathroom break in about 3 weeks.
    Are these just wrinkles from where she's curved her body or is she dehydrated? (There are no dents in her eye caps.) Our adult doesn't wrinkle where she curves...

    Any ball python will have those wrinkles/rolls when they're curled or balled up, its normal.

    She could also be getting ready for a shed
    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    Re: Wrinkly? Dehydrated?

    Looks pretty normal to me, just creases where the snake is curled. I think the fact that she is so light in color makes the wrinkles seem more pronounced

    Thanks everyone. I think yes, it's probably her colour that makes them seem pronounced.
