    Red underside after shed
    I just saw the recent post about the red underside, and responded that the ball was about to go in shed. Well my baby ball (3 months) just shed. I picked him up and noticed. A pink/redish shade on his belly. Not sure what this is, never noticed this in my 1 1/2 year old female pastel. Both balls are pastels, just an fyi. Does anyone know what this is?

    Any advice is appreciated.

    Is there anyway he could get burns from an UTH, etc.?

    Keep in mind he's a baby, possibly the runt of the clutch.

    Yeah I was beginning to think that this shade of pink maybe due to that fact he is only a baby. But are there anymore thoughts?

    Hi,

    I'd say you were probably right - there are no signs of damage that I can see in those pictures.

    Just keep an eye on it would be my advice. :)

    Yeah thats what I'm thinking, just that the ball is young and eventually the skin/scales will grow to be thicker. I guess we'll see and I'll keep an eye on it for the time being. He's eating fine though, right after he shed i fed him.
