dehydration?

What does a dehydrated ball python look like?
My ball python has not eaten for about 3 months now. I just got her (i think) 3 months ago. So because she has not eaten I am worried that she might be getting dehydrated but I dont know what to look for.

We have never had one only seen pics in books...looked lie what you'd expect very dry chafing skin, wrinkled up, thin..fugly. See Ball Python Manual and others for pics.

If you think she is dehydrated drop her in the water bowl every couple of days to soak. This will help rehydrate her. Hope I could help, Jon
