Boa Question

MollyBrook226 Apr 01, 2004 07:17 AM

hi there,
i have a late 03 baby colombian that's starting to worry me. he eats and sheds well, defecates normally, and has no respiratory issues. however, he appears to be...well, bloated looking. it's as if his skin is stretched too tight over fat, and it wrinkles. he's not overweight, and as i said, has no other problems. this doesn't even seem to bother him. i assumed he was just going into shed, but has gone through several sheds now, and the wrinkles are still there. these do not appear to be dehydration related. as i said, they're as if his skin is stretched, not baggy.
any suggestions as to what could be the problem?
thanks!
m
