help

My ball python's stomach is a pale pink color. Is that bad?

It's most likely starting to shed.

This should help. ^_^

are her eyes milky blue colored?

If so, it's perfectly normal. she's just going into shed. her skin will appear normal and the pink will disappear and then a few days later, you'll have a shed.

Now's a good time to bump up the humidity to between 60 and 70% :)

He's never had a pink stomach before a shed though

I bet he has had a pink belly before but you just never noticed its only like that for about three days, then he should clear up then another two days and he sheds... and poops :grabbed:

Ok. I'm just really protective of my snakes. Thanks.

Has your undertank heater recently got too hot? O hope that it is not a thermal burn. You would have to measure the temp directly against the bottom of the tank floor where the snake would sit if it pushed the substrate out of the way.. if it is hotter than the normal 92, it could be a possibility.

one of my boys has a pink belly right now. i noticed cuz he was hanging onto a vine over his water dish. in a really awkward position. he's really clumsy so he was prolly trying to cross the vine and slipped! silly floyd! anyways, kinda off the topic but it reminded me of this morning... i'll go away now...

I don't think it's a burn because he has a hide box over it that is hard to move.

Hi,

Is it possible for you to get a picture of its belly and one of its head showing the eyes?

No. My camera isn't working.
