    Do you own a digital scale, then you'll know for certain.

    Yep, a small kitchen scale is the answer.

    Other things that can cause wrinkly skin:

    Dehydration due to lack of water or low humidity.
    Pre-shedding conditions (snake is opaque).
    Stuck shed.

    Re: HELP dont know if my bp is loseing weight

    I just bought a digital scale on Ebay for $8 with free shipping. Great investment, because now I can easily track his weight!
