    My babys belly is wierd
    i got booger bout a month ago and his belly feels wierd the whole way through, kinda dry, i see him drink all the time and the humidity is always around 50-70

    ...and since the day i got him his belly has had a pink tinge to it. im really worried about him :(
    are they supposed to be white like the adult from the day they hatch??

    I have had my BPs for a few months, so I am no expert by any means!

    I was worried about the same thing when I got mine.

    A couple of things that should be addressed.

    What is your whole set up?

    From what you keep him in and on.

    What is his humidity?

    what do you use for hides?

    What do you use to measure temperature and humidity?

    what are you using for temperature control?

    Mine get the pink belly, the adults only when going into shed, the younger ones more often.

    Hope this helps some.

    I'd definitely give him a lot more closure and another identical hide. He seems like he'd be stressed in that envorinment. Here is a picture of my 20 gallon long setup:

    Also try getting a digital thermometer and hygrometer instead of those gauges.. they aren't accurite. I got mine from walmart for only $20. The Acu-Rites are even cheaper.

    Dial thermometer and hygrometer are not accurate and I would highly suggest that you replace them, so you get an accurate reading of both temps and humidity.

    You are saying the belly has been pink for a month, do you have a thermostat?
