Re: What is this on his belly??
I don't know if that is a burn or not(someone else can chime in on that), but my first questions are:
Are you using a UTH?
Are you using a thermostat?
Do you have a thermometer?

Yes I'm using a thermometer and the temp is all right but I'm worried that is has to do with the uth.. He likes to push all the bedding away so he lays on the glass over the uth (yes I have the uth under the terrarium) and maybe it gets too hot?

Re: What is this on his belly??
Tanner and snow both said it looks like a burn. With a burn, your UTH is getting too hot for the snake.
The UTH itself should not be getting more than 92-95ish degrees(this is what mine is at, others may have their UTHs at a different temp). This is so my snakes do not need to burrow to get to a hotter spot.
Can we assume you are not using a thermostat?
What kind of thermometer? A lot of people use and recoomend the accurite digital indoor/outdoor from wlamart. There should be a probe placed over/on the UTH while using a thermostat.

Re: What is this on his belly??
I'd unplug your UTH until you do have a thermostat controlling it.
You are catching it early which is good. So you can fix this without hurting the snake further.
Most recommended ways/items to control the temp of a UTH:
Herpstat thermostat
hydrofarm thermostat
dimmer switch (recommended for temporary use)
Sorry I don't have links.

I'm using Exo terra liquid crystal thermometer, but i dont have a probe so I should get one asap. But what should I do for now til I get a thermostat and probe?
