 Why is my snake wrinkly?

I just noticed my baby ball is all wrinkly from the head down. I think it is about to shed because a portion of the skin was missing from the head. The *dead* skin. Is there any reason his neck and head are wrinkly?? Thanks

The skin being in that condition could(more than likely)be a sign if dehydration. Soak the snake in warm water for about an hour make it deep enough that the snake is covered but make sure it can get it’s head out of the water(just don’t want any posts titled Bayou Killed my snake). after this it should shed easy and also rehydrate itself.
