VERY pink belly

Why oh why do I let these things stress me out so badly? Ugh...
My pinstripe has a very pink belly. I'm checking temps obsessively to make sure he's not getting burnt, and there's just no way. He's also very testy. And he's a bit crinkly. But it's been a few days since I've noticed and he still hasn't gone blue yet... I read the sticky thread (again) on shedding, and it said pink belly for 2 daysish, so I'm getting nervous. I haven't had him for a shed yet, so this might just be what his look like. I only have one other to compare him to, and Jackson doesn't get pink at all. Sooo, naturally I have to irrationally spaz out. :rolleyes:

My male Pastel gets a pink belly a full week before he goes blue... every snake had his/her own way of doing things. They just love to stress us out :P

Stop worrying! If the temps are correct, it's due to shed, some get more pink than others lol

Nothing to worry about, he's going into shed.

I had never noticed this on my normal but like 4 days she went into the blue during her last shed her belly was reallllllyyyyy pink. I dont remember seeing this on her before but it happened last time lol.

My Jigsaw get a VERY pink belly before shed.

yup SHED BELLY! my mojo girl got super pink last time more then she ever has so i actually thought she was mildly burned...nope. just shed belly.
i used to check temps neurotically too but have calmed down some. dont worry, once you get into a good routine with monitoring the temps & humidity, it gets a tad easier. i write everything down in notebooks & am crazy with details for the just-in-case scenario for a possible future vet visit.

A good shed is just what your little guy needs right now, especially after the trouble with the mites. I wouldn't be suprised if he eats for you a day or so after this shed.

Relax, all is well :gj:

That's precisely what I'm hoping for...! Ah, that would just be the best...

Aye I had my big normal girl give me the same scare I come home her belly was so pink I could have sworn she was burnt. Checked Rechecked temps all good 4 days later she went blue I think you are fine :)
