Well that is a terrible picture, so we really couldn't tell you anyhow without better angles. Looks like a younger snakes, sometimes there is almost a "slit" on their belly from being in the egg that slowly goes away over time.

That doesn't look too abnormal to me, but as I said, it's REALLY tough to see from the picture.

Brown down center of belly is sign of burn

[Thepythonman12]

Should a ball python belly be pure white.mines have like a brownish/reddish line going up about 4 or 5 inches. i had her for about a month now and she eats,hides,drinks and does everything just right.Could the mark could have come from the substrate or should i be worried??

She might be ready to shed, but if your really worried, take her to the vet.

If its a long brown line then it can be a burn happening.

Better picture and type of bedding could help

I use zoo med aspen snake bedding i switched off of carefresh about 1week ago,it may be a burn because when i first got her i did not have a thermostat until a week later,but now i have a thermostat hooked up to the heat source.So maybe a mild burn but will the burn mark stretch out that fur(two inches above the vent then goes on for about 3-4inches)? It does not go to her neck and when i put her under light or something it is not visible i can only see it in a dim light room and still just barley.

I do not have a camera so i cannot get any pics, but you guys on this forum are brilliant i am sure you can figure it out help me .

Take it to a vet or borrow a camera and post some pics of it please.

If you have a cell phone camera, its better than nothing. Take some pics, email them to yourself, and then post them
