    Ready to shed

    Lemon turns a crazy salmon pink color before he sheds. Not just his belly either, everywhere that isn't brown is bright pink. Anyone else's snakes do this?

    It's perfectly normal. I have a couple brightly colored snakes that it is especially evident on right before they start to go opaque (my Spinner Blast almost looks sunburned when she's going into shed).

    I knew that pink bellies were a common indicator of an imminent shed, and most of my other snakes have that occur. Lemon takes it to a whole other level and looks like I do after eight hours of sun. XD
