Yeah, I still get anxious too sometimes. Always take a deep breath, don't do anything rash or quick (unless temps are crazy or something), and try to make informed decisions.
Shayna, my albino spider BP, who I have had for 5 years now (she is 5 1/2) had a whistle in her nose a few months ago. Turned out to be a piece of dirt or similar, there were no other symptoms, and the whistling stopped by the next day. Husbandry was on point, but I wanted to make sure everything was ok. I took her to the vet as a precaution. Aside from hurting my wallet, and the vet telling me Shayna was the calmest snake she had ever treated, it was pretty uneventful.
Anyway, the point is, it's okay to get a little anxious and be careful with husbandry, ask questions, keep learning, etc.
Reptiles rely on us for everything; heat, humidity, security, food, space, etc.
Always keep that in the back of your mind, without going crazy, and everything will be fine!
Keep up the good work. Your girl is lucky to have you.
P.S. The wrinkle could be totally normal or she may shed soon. I wouldn't sweat it. It also depends on how they move, curl up, etc. It can look more prominent sometimes.
