    New pickup. Need advice.

    Just purchased a big breeder female. Noticed she has pink lines going down the middle of her belly. What could this be? It doesn't really look like scale rot, just some strange coloring.

    Could be burns, could be the beginnings of a shed, could be lots of things. Pics would help.

    Chances are it's just creases where she was coiled tightly (think pillow lines on your face when you wake up). But as Ava said, it's all guesses without pictures.

    Anyone? I don't think it's shed related. It's very splotchy.

    Belly scales look off...pink coloring and their texture. Looks like a mild burn or maybe the start of scale rot? I've never dealt with either, so I'm just guessing here. Doesn't look normal though.

    Yeah I've looked at scale rot on google and its all like sever cases. She might of been burned but I don't know. What is the practice for treating scale rot if that is the case?
