    Pink Belly - Shed vs Burn? (pic-heavyy)
    A few days ago I was weighing my BP and noticed a slight pink tint on his belly, so I raised the humidity to 70% and brushed it off as the beginning of a shed. Honestly I can't really tell if his skin is any duller so I decided to take pictures of his belly today to inspect further.
    So how do I tell the difference between a shed and burn? It might just be my bad eyesight but the pink on his belly seems more patchy than a tint all throughout? I don't really know, but if anyone could help me distinguish what's going on that'd be great! :)
    Extra info: my temps have been good; the hot side stays at an 80 degree ambient temp (measured with an AcuRite) and 89-91 hot spot temp (measured with a temp gun), but the cold side has actually been a bit colder than I would like at 77-78. He seems to have stayed in the hot hide for a few days as far as I know. I assumed this was because he was entering a shed but idkkkk

    I don't see anything.

    I don't think you have anything to worry about.

    My boy's stomach does this too. He shows just a tinge of pink from time to time (usually after he's been moving around and squeezing and slithering for a bit so I assume its the exercise), and went blotchy bright pink during his shed.

    Yours looks absolutely fine to me.

    Yeah I don't see anything either. My girl gets the same way sometimes, generally a week later she's in full shed.

    Yeah, looks fine. :) My normal just has a super light pink tinge to her underbelly naturally. It's slightly pinker before a shed and she's had it her whole life (she's 2 and a half).

    Agreed, I don't see any burns.

    I forget from your earlier threads, but you are using a thermostat right?
