    Belly problem, d'like to know what it is?!!

    Hi!
    My snake is having a little problem with his belly I think.
    some scales look wrinkled and kinda reddish/pinkish. There are 2 spots only. It looks as whatever it is it's just starting out. If I cant get an answer I'll go to my vet. Don't worry
    He's also shedding his belly,only his belly though...
    It's almost impossible that it be a belly burn, because the substrate isn't hot (not to the touch and temps don't exceed 92°F)
    Please help!

    anything is possible really, If you have a vet you can visit, that would be the best idea. If you want you can change his substrate to papertowel or newspaper, make sure its nice and dry and changed frequently, and apply some neosporin or triple antibiotic ointment to see if it clears up. But like I said, you will feel more at ease and be reassured he's doing ok if you make a vet visit.
