I HAVE BEEN READING THROUGH ALL THE THREADS AND TRYING TO DOCUMENT ALL THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS...

THEN I READ THE THREAD ABOUT THE WRINKLED SKIN PROBLEM I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND I AM NOT SAYING THAT I AN 100% CORRECT BUT I TESTED MY THEORY AND I GOT THE SAME THING..

THE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM IS TO FEED THE SNAKE A SMALLER MOUSE OR WHATEVER YOUR FEEDING IT... I FEED MY GREEN TREE A LARGER MOUSE THEN USUAL AND I GOT WRINKLED SKIN BY THE NEXT DAY... I HAVE HAD MY SNAKE FOR A WHILE NOW AND NEVER ONCE HAD THE PROBLEM... BUT ONCE I FEED HIM A LARGER MOUSE I HAD THE WRINKLED SKIN... SO IT SEEMS LOGICAL TO ME THAT THIS IS THE PROBLEM...

I ALSO KNOW THAT THESE SNAKES HAVE AN AMAZING ABILITY TO STRETCH THEIR SKIN THEN EATING... BUT IN THIS CASE I THINK THAT WITH A YOUNGER SNAKE BECAUSE HE HAS NOT GOT THE MASS OF AN ADULT. THAT HE IS UNABLE TO FILL THE EXTRA SKIN...

I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ANYONES COMMENTS ON THIS...

I'M JUST HERE TO STATE MY OPINION....

Interesting theory, but from the pictures i've seen this wrinkling of skin encompasses the entire animal. The pictures i'm referenceing are those found in the classifieds. Considering the source, i suspect dehydration? Are you saying that with a larger prey item being consumed, by your snake, causes this wrinkling over the entire body? Or are you saying this wrinkling apperars in the stomach region where the meal is being digested? Elaborate, Clint
