White is pink now...

[shelpen]

Mortimer is not white anymore, he is dirty pink with some spots...
Is this indicative of incoming shed or should I call a vet?

Here you can see the pinkish hue of his skin against the white paper... He also hasn't pooped in close to 2 months...

My bet would be going into shed.

Looks like pre shed. He might stay pink for a day or two after the shed but if he's still pink after then that you'll know it's a problem.

Could be a shed coming....
What is your heat source and how is it regulated?

My male pied gets very pink during some sheds and not others, my female almost all white pied gets pink every time.

Judging by that sausage butt, I'd say an upcoming shed/Poocasso is inevitable.

Yay, I thought so!
I see Poocasso in my near future!

He has a Ultratherm Heat Pad that is regulated by Ranco, 89-91 F.

I check on him today and found he barricaded the hot side hide entrance with a bunch of substrate (aspen)... I guess it's an equivalent of "Do Not Disturb" sign.

My mystic potion gets very pink a few days before shed as well, and always poops right after. No worries!

I vote shed. Yzmas belly went Uber pink last shed.

I have a few pieds that are pink most of the time, one in particular is almost always pink. I think it's totally normal.
