baggy boa

Has anyone else seen this? Is this normal? My baby BCI boa seems to have really loose skin. I've had other babies, mostly BCC and this one seems particularly baggy. ???

Do you have a photo? Too much loose skin might mean the snake's dehydrated, or getting ready to shed... in either case you might want to soak the snake for 10-15 minutes, hard to tell without a photo though.
