some of mine would get a pink belly about 3-4 days before they shed, once they shed it was gone. some of mine would shed every two weeks some every 2 months.

All the above replies have been great. And covered most of it. But I didn't see this question.
What's your hot side temp? And how do you measure that temp?
Ball pythons/snakes in general can get burned. And the vent area is what seems to get the worst of it being as its a sensitive area.

Oh yea his temps and husbandry are fine. 91 warm side, 84 collest side, 80 ambient. 57-60% humidity. Im changing the cypress mulch to newspaper for simplicity anyway so that should rule out belly rot in the future with frequent changing.

Babies also have a natural pink hue on their bellies. If it's not dark enough to show up on a photograph, don't worry about it.
