HELP...Wringes on bredli????

[Luke1]

hey all,
i bought a pair of bredlis about a week ago and i have noticed that the male has wringes on him (around neck). i was just curious because i thought this would have something to do with shedding but it has only spred more...
what could this be?

Cheers,

Luke

sounds like its about to slough, i probably wouldnt handle it for a while till it sheds.

 

[Armand]

do you have any pics of it?

 

[Luke1]

Jase75: its my first Morelia python so i don't know if its just an ordinary sort of thing...the only other snakes ive kept are spotteds and childrens...they don't wrinkle like he has...

Armand: i will try get some...with out getting bitten LOL!!!

[Luke1]

LOL...i just found out my mum left the good camera at my grand parents house!!!

 

[jase75]

Some times if the tank is really dry they can have a bit of trouble sloughing and there skin goes a bit wrinkly, wen my childrens used to have trouble i would raise the humidity in the tank a bit or if that didnt work i would soak him in warm water for a while to loosen up his skin and he would usually slough with in the next day or so.

Can I be a bit of a spastic and ask what a "Wringe" is?

 

[Luke1]

Jase75: there is alot of ventalation in the tank and a medium sized water bowel...is that a problem?

 

[Luke1]

LOL, my spelling is bad mate...wrinkle or water it is...you know...what bull dogs have LOL

 

[FNQ_Snake]

Ah, no worries, I thought I learned a new word today.

Cheers

 

[jase75]

its really hard to know without seeing pics, but i would be tempted to soak him in warm water for 15-20 mins, if he is sloughing it will loosen up his skin but if he isnt at least he will be clean lol just make sure its not too hot.

 

[Luke1]

the thing is though, he looks nothing like wat a snake looks like when they are about the shed...just...wrinkly!

 

[FNQ_Snake]

Maybe he has progeria.

 

[Luke1]

whats theat?

I doubt it would be anything near related to what ails your snake. Just a little light humour at 10:30 at night. LOL

 

[Luke1]

LOL, good one!

Its just loosening itself up,he will shed soon.
Then give him a good feed.
There is no problems with it.
