Pinkish heat pits?

[nikkiniko]

I recently got a juvenile ball python and i have noticed that the insides of his heat pits are slightly pink. Is this normal? What is the normal colour for the inside of ball python heat pits?

[Pampho85]

Younger snakes should have pinkish heat pits, so it's perfectly normal. Although, without seeing a picture, I could be wrong.

yeah its normal for them to be pink some of mine have them like that

Yep, pink is normal. Unless it's neon, glowing pink, that might be a bit concerning, but 'regular' pink or pastel pink is pretty normal.
