ETB skin folding

Hey, my little ETB who just shed two weeks ago has it's skin folding more than usually, and i was wondering if it was a sign of discomfort. I keep it within the good temp and humidity ranges, ( 27-29 degrees celcius, with an average of 80% humidity, 25-26 degrees at night with 70% humidity ) but it needs to be transfered to a bigger cage... It's 3/4'' large and his perch is 1/2''... What could the problem be? There are no parasites, i've been to the vet last month.

phil.

There is no big deal at the moment, but i'm about to put it in a much bigger tank and i want everything to be perfect before i get it to stress in the transfer... Should i transfer it now ( if the problem is the size of the cage ) or should i touch my humidity/temp before i do that???

try pinching the skin, and if it does not return to its usual shape fairly quickly, it is possible that your snake is dehydrated.
