Another worried moment

[The Serpent Merchant]

So you wouldn't be concerned if your snakes was doing this? I'm so paranoid because I've never owned a snake or any reptile before so I'm constantly looking for signs of trouble. Because I'm inexperienced I don't know what a distressed snake looks like. I've had him for about a week and half now and I'm constantly worried when something strange (at least to me it's strange) happens. I wonder if this is what new parents feel like lol.

I did a bunch of reading up before getting him, but not everything I experience is in there. And him going into shed has me nervous even though I've read up on the process and keep refreshing myself on it. I hope it goes well. I look forward to a year or two from now when I feel confident about what I'm doing, have a feel for what's going on, and can stop stressing.

And thank you for the replies BTW! I appreciate them very much.

Not at all, in fact I have a male BP that does something very similar on a regular basis. I only wanted to check on the heat source because you mentioned that your snakes belly was pink. But since you have your heat pads on thermostats that pretty much rules out a burn and makes going into shed the most likely cause of the pink belly.
