    What could this be??

    I took Apollo out yesterday to hold him a little before feeding and noticed his belly was pink. pretty much all over. When i got him out, he was buried under the coconut husk right over his hot side uth. the temps at the glass right there are at 91-94. Idk if he was pink because he was hot or what. he just shed over christmas so i wouldnt think he is ready for another shed but idk. I have also read that it could be the beginning stages of belly rot but idk how that would happen becasue he is a very active snake and becasue his entire belly was pink. he doesnt look dull and his eyes are not blue yet so i dont think it would be a shed either. He ate fine yesterday. better than he has a a couple weeks. I just checked him and his belly is still a little pink but not like it was yesterday. please let me know what this could be.

    Thank you.

    It is very possible indeed that your snake might be getting ready to shed again. Can you post pictures of his belly at all? Pictures would really help so others can tell you what might be going on.

    whats the temps of the cooler side of the tank?
    For every 15-foot python out in the Everglades, there are thousands of species of clams, trees, cats, grasses and birds that are wrecking just as much havoc across the globe. So, for all the headaches the snakes are causing, I at least applaud them for being scary enough to get people's attention.
