Hey, folks...what colour are the bellies of your hypomelanistic Brooks?
I only just noticed that the underside of my female has turned pinkish-orange. Either I somehow haven't noticed it up until now, or it's turned that way fairly recently. Strange.

Have a great week-end, everyone!

At work there is one and if I remember correctly, his belly is yellow.

Is it going into a shed?

Mine is yellow with brown blotches. I agree with Joe, she's probably starting her shed.

Negatory on the shedding, guys! She just shed on the 13th.

Her entire belly has changed colour all the way down to the underneath of her tail. She is even showing pink-orange under her throat area.
This is a change in colour, not a skin infection or the onset of ecdysis.
I was quite surprised by it.

How old is it? maybe they go through some sort of an ontogenetic colour change? I have never kept hypo brooks before but have kept floridna and there colours tend to change a bit! If you find out let whats up let me know?
