    should i be worried?

    today i was doin a check up on my snakes and found that both were pink on the bellie with some blue on the sides. i noticed on zulu, though, that his scales on the bottom were really loose. they made a crackeling sorda sound when you rubbed them backwords(if that makes sense) my snakes scales on the bottom usually get loose when they go into blue but ive never noticed it that much. should i be worried or is this just normal? maybe i should post a pic?

    Re: should i be worried?

    The pink is normal before a shed.. the crackling could just be the skin being stiff before the shed. Post a pic definitely. I'd probably soak them.

    Not sure about 'loose scales'. I suppose it won't hurt to soak, but I don't know what that is.
