ball python with a Very Pink belly

[The Serpent Merchant]

if you're not using a thermostat I'm guessing your snake could possibly have a burn... Like Merchant said if UTH's are left un-regulated they can get up to 130 degrees... Dials are crap and it was probably measuring your ambient temperature if it was doing anything. You really need to get a thermostat and digital gauge as soon as possible. I would recommend the hydrofarm for 30 dollars. Its cheap and does its job. Good luck.

If it is a burn, it isn't a bad one (yet) getting a new thermometer and thermostat will solve this issue.

regardless bump up the humidity as it will help either way. only time will tell which it is.
