    The last time my snake shed, it was a surprise attack. He wasn't pink in the belly at all, but he shed anyway. Afterward, there was some pinkness for a day or so, then that cleared up and he was fine :). I've noticed that BP's like to take what we know about them and mix it up. I know they do it just to mess with us. If you have multiple snakes, they probably conspire together..

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

    Mayhems belly lools like that too!? He has been that way since I bought him, I figured it was cause he is a baby.

    Yeah this one hatched sept. 13th 2010, and he is a lit smaller than he looks in the pictures.

    Is the UTH controlled by a thermostat so even if the snake goes to the UTH it isn't an issue?
    *had to ask :P*

    I do have the UTH controlled, but i dont think that is the issue. Everytime i check the snake (cleaning, feeding, etc.), hes always on cold side hide. The uth is reading between 85-88 with the probe directly on the UTH.

    Well that's what the ambient temperature should be, I keep the UTH 90-93 degrees, maybe that's why he's not using the hot spot?
