It might be a mild burn but I think it is a shed coming.

She spends a lot of time on the warm side and when i picked her up she was kind of warm.

*Bump*

Well, she should be warm if she's on the warm side :P

From those pictures it doesn't look like anything serious, like Pit said it could either be a very mild burn or just pre-shed pinkness, although it does seem fairly localized. How are you measuring your temps? If you're using a digital thermometer (with the probe right on top of the glass/plastic over the UTH) and the temps are in the low to mid 90s, then I don't really see how it could be a burn.

If you're really worried, you could always take her to a vet to be sure, but I would just keep an eye on it :)

yea either a very mild burn or getting ready for a big shed. How do you control the temp...w what

I control the temps with an exo terra thermostat , it was $41 and works good, I also use a digital probe thermometer and my hotside temps never go over 95 they always stay 88-93 no higher or lower on the warm side.

Do you think i should put her on paper towel and start applying Neo sporin???

Anyone?

Is the probe to your thermostat secured to the heat source OUTSIDE the cage?

Where is your digital thermometer probe? Is it right on the glass, under the substrate, where the UTH is?

It looks like a mild burn to me. A pink belly from a shed would make the whole belly a pale pink color. The pics make the color look localized in one area.

I would switch to paper towels just to keep everything clean. You don't necessarily need to use neosporin. If it is just a mild burn, it will heal by the next shed, which will probably be soon since injured snakes shed a little more often.
