Sorry if im a little late, but that is just pink belly from the shedding process.


It goes pink belly, blue eyes, clear, shed. It takes about 2 days to go from pink to blue, and maybe 5 days for blue to shed, although every snake is different.

You probably never noticed the pink belly thing before because its a pretty quick thing, although it is majorly scary the first time you see it, b/c It gets SOOOOOO pink! You'll notice that you can push the pink stuff around under the skin and see clear belly underneath it. Dont do it too much though: shedding has GOT to be an uncomfortable thing!!
Hope this helps you calm your nerves

ok well i went and got a thermastat and unfortunatly it wasnt just pink belly shed. He finished shedding last night and it was inded a burn. some of his scales are alittle red and not completly formed and in the lower part of his tail he has no scales at all just flesh. when i woke up to find his shed i also found some blood on the paper towels and looked and sure enough his lower parts have no scale just red flesh. Im going to take him to a vet and im out of my mind worried and ashamed that this happened. I have to wait for this weekend for the vet, does anyone know any temp fixes untill then? some kind of cream or i dont know im just worried about him. Anything to help calm me and soothe him, the poor little guy is crawling on exposed flesh and it has to hurt badly.

Put him on newspaper and turn off the UTH. Just make sure the room he is in is at least 84 degree's or so. Get him to the vet ASAP. Good Luck.
