Hey,
If there is a problem with wrinkly scales, I would remove the water box, and in its place, place a wet towel, a couple of days prior to shedding. However, these scales should get back to normal with the following shed cycle. I don't place pans for soaking in the larger blood cages, but do place a large damp towel in the cage when the animals are known to begin the shed upon inspection. Either the day of shedding or the day before.

i wouldnt worry about it too much. i mean how many times have you come out of the bath looking like a prune and suffered no ill effects? plenty of times is my guess. it should clear up after a couple days in the heat. the only thing i would worry about is having too wet of a substrate cause that can lead to problems on the bottom of the snake but i dont see any potential health hazards coming from a snake that "turned abit prunish".
of course thats just my opinion. im not a vet so if you hear from another vet to do something about it, then by all means follow your vets advice. unless he says you shouldnt own a snake.
