Albey was able to identify it. They sometimes get the red on the dorsal area before a shed.
These are the random scales.
Albey was right. I have a Pied female going into shed right now, and she has the pink spots as well. If you watch Albinos closely before, during and after a shed you will see it there as well. Also, I see it very frequently on Hypos, but it isn't pink, but rather looks like a bruise (for lack of a btter word). Very nice Pied by the way.
