    Belly up in pink?

    Normal humidity is 40% or so. I introduce a humid hide when the snake acts like it's going into shed or is due on the calendar or turns pink on the belly at all. I've had perfect sheds every time using this method.

    I just spotted my bee in his humid hide as I saw him pink the other day and gave the hide. He's in there right now lying totally belly up except his neck and head, still in deep pink. Is there reason to be concerned? Never seen them do that and it's a little scary to see the snake flipped upside down...

    My room did get warm today and i noted a hot spot of 93. Normally hes got the hide right as he goes pink, but its a new humid hide and he didnt find the door for 2 days longer than usual. I dont see any visual burns but it is a lighter pink than normal.

    He found it after a day of sitting on the 93 spot at 40% humidity.

    Re: Belly up in pink?

    If its a bee, it might just be him. Iv seen some bees that can be turned over and it not seem to affect them. I guess it's part of there " wobble" or whatever
