Hi all, I'm new here! I just found yor site and I'm hoping you guys can help.

About 6 months ago I bought my first corn snake, a little male okeetee. He's just the sweetest snake ever, and I totally fell in love with corn snakes.

So of course, my husband and I are at a pet store one day last week, they have baby corn snakes,and I end up with an adorable little anerythristic.

The problem is she's got some sort of skin problem I think. Her skin looks wrinkly, and she appears to have little pieces of skin stuck to her, like she did not have enough humidity and had an incomplete shed.

What is the least stressfull way to remove the dead skin, and what could the wrinkly skin be? It's not wrinkly when she's layng out straight, only when part of her body bends, it creates a "fold" by the bend.

I'm fortunate enough where I live to have an excellent Veterinary teaching hospital with a great exotics dept., and several vets that specialize in reptiles.

I have an appointment to take her to the vet next week for an initial base health screen, so if it's something they should look at, it's not a problem. I just thought I'd see if anyone here might be able to help.

Thanks!
