Pinkish color under tail...

[bx718]

So I decided to pick up my female bp this morning and I decided to check under her body and noticed a pinkish color by the end of her tail. I tried to Google some symptoms and came up with nothing. So I took some pics and they're posted below. A little info of my bp below also.
She is about 6 months old.
Her temps are good, 89 hot side (uth) and 78-80 cool side. Humidity is at a constant 62%.
She ate on Saturday night but hasn't pooped since her last meal last week on Sunday, Dec. 23.
I've had her for about a month now and she hasn't shed yet. And I never asked the guy I purchased from when was the last time...



There's a noticeable lump... ^^^^









Thanks in advance for any information and advice provided...

it doesn't look too red or pink to me based on these photos. Could be a pre shed pink going on....what are her temps controlled/monitored with?

i use a light dimmer to control the heat output and i use a acurite thermometer and hygrometer digital monitor. Shes on aspen bedding mixed with moss to help keep the humidity up since shes in a glass tank. As of right now i have her in a small tub with paper towels as bedding until i figure out whats going on..

and i thought the same when it came to shedding but the rest of her underbelly is completely white...

Looks like she may be about to pass some feces/urates.

Yea I was thinking the same thing. You can soak her in warm water to see if it will help her pass. Or she could be at the start of a shed cycle, but most of the time the whole belly gets pink. I have never seen only one section get pink from shedding.

i've learned not to take my bumblebee out to handle her when she has the "lump butt." she likes to wait until i get her out and then poop all over me.

but yeah x2 on the warm water. they love poopin in it.

i put her in warm water for an hour and a half but still no poop...

hope its nothing serious but thanks again fellas!

Interesting... I've never seen just a little lump like that. Maybe it's a large urate that she's having a hard time passing? Is it hard or soft when you put pressure on it? I've never seen their butts turn red when the need to go though. Keep an eye on it daily. If it gets bigger, a vet visit may be in order to rule out any sort of growth.

the color has since disappeared but the lump is still there and feels pretty hard. when i put pressure on it she flinches so maybe its causing some pain? i think im going to give her one more warm water soaking to see if it helps. if not im taking her to the vet
