    Het Albino with orangish belly
    Hello,

    I posted this before but never really got any answers...my 100% het albino has an orangish looking stomach. Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? :confused:

    I have seen this in a ringer but that was the only time and it was only in one spot near the white.

    Yes, he's been like that his whole life. Now he is about 4 feet or so and about 1400 grams.

    No...he's not in shed.
    No...he's not sick or anything like that.

    Thanks and I appreciate any info you may have...:weirdface

    If he's not in shed, then something is irritating his belly - it looks like he's either experiencing temps that are too warm, or substrate that is too moist.

    What are you using to measure temps and humidity in his enclosure?

    He's set up like every other one of my balls and he's been like this since he came out of the egg.

    I have accurites and probes and a heat gun...everything is perfect in every enclosure.

    Owwie!! I agree something is irritating his poor little belly! What kind of setup do you have? such as substrate and stuff like that

    Since birth....so how is that possible?

    Maybe if you could take a better picture? I have a girl with an actually yellow belly lol, like her belly is pigmented like that. It's more cream colored, but it's not pink like is showing up in your pictures.

    Sure, I'll take some later today. It's not pink though as its coming up in the pictures....it's more of an orange color. It's hard to capture the pigmentation in the pictures but I'll try my best. :)

    I have seen ringers who have this same color on their belly but it is only in the portion where the white is on them and not their whole stomach. I took all of my snakes and had them checked at the vet before I started breeding a few weeks ago and they all came back 100% healthy...but either way...it's not a health issue because he's always been this way....so unless he was born with belly irritation....which can't be...so I don't know.

    I do appreciate your suggestions and comments though.
