Dehydrated or part of shedding?

[Ashton87]

I noticed my female lesser/butter started her shedding processes on 6/19 (semi cloudy eyes) 6/20 her eyes were even more cloudy than the previous day and she took on a rather dusky look. Today I went in to clean her enclosure and while doing so I let her soak in lukewarm water, after finishing up the enclosure I go to return her and notice her skin is a bit wrinkled. Searching through some BP care guide I read this can be a sign of dehydration but is also something seen during shedding... So which is it!?

She looks fine, just in shed.

Looks like a shed to me. Make sure the humidity in her tank is good.

[Ashton87]

Humidity is currently sitting at 63% with her hot spot at 80F and the cool side at 73F.

80 hot spot is to cold bump it up to 88-90

Hot spot should be 88-90F and the cool end should be 78-80F

Most 'fat' snakes like BPs will get those wrinkles when they bend. Kind of freaked me out at first b/c it's similar to a sign of retained shed in colubrids. Just a shed here though

While she's in shed, don't soak her because you're washing away special oils they develop in order for them to shed easier. Like everyone said, just keep up high humidity and she'll shed just fine.
