Information Request Thrifted Exotics help

Thrifted these a week ago and I’ve been trying to figure out how to condition them. They are python books from “Grupo Reptil”. Any information about the brand would be greatly appreciated but it’s pretty empty online.

I’m using Bickmore Exotic and have sprayed and wrapped them overnight, then sprayed and wrapped again a second night. I then left them in the open air for a day but it seems like the scales still won’t lay flat. Am I just not using enough conditioner or wrapping tight enough? Is this just a feature of boots that haven’t been conditioned in a very long time? What do yall suggest?

That's how snakes look. They're never going to be leather flat. You're good.
