Is he readying for a shed?

[Otto1208]

I do not know I got this snake from a friend for free. I was just feeling his body and it felt like his skin was loose as I ran my hand down his back... It felt like he was saggy...

The usual is needed here:

Temps, Humidity, last time he ate, what he ate, age, size etc...

[Otto1208]

Temp is 90-94 hot side, cool side is around 82 to 84, Humidity is staying around 50-55, I do not know the last time he ate( when i got him I tried feeding, and refuesd) His age i could not tell you He is 3- 3 1/2 feet long... Any other info needed... Would this be him burmating?

I started a thread earlier, but no one really responded. My BP today when i was messing with him, i ran my hand down his back, and his skin felt saggy "loose". His cage temps are 90-94 in the hot spot, 85-88 on the cool, Humidity is 50-55, age is unknown, size is about 3- 3 1/2 feet long, and i do not know the last time he ate(tried to feed him a week ago but he refused) ANY help is this just him burmating, or is this a start of a shed!!! PLEASE help.. This is my first BP, and I wanna make sure I do everything right!!!

Do you mean his skin is in folds? Or that you can like "lift up" the skin?

Maybe the snake's a little overweight so it's a little "mushy"?

[Otto1208]

Yes I can pull this skin up! when I ran my hand that is what happened... His skin would pull up!!

Maybe dehydrated? Or underweight?

[starmom]

Like I mentioned, it could be shed time, or dehydration, or underweight. If you are concerned, perhaps a trip to the vet is in order
