Amelia Mae belly is all pinkish. Her whole underside. What does that mean?

[CK SandBoas]

She's going into shed, nothing to worry about, just make sure she has a humid hide she can hang out in, until she sheds her skin :)

Is she a BP? My old BP would turn pink every time he would shed.

Amelia Mae is a Brazilian Rainbow Boa :)

[Trollbie]

Didn't they tell you she just shed?

[Jazzmyne]

yeah like a couple Weeks before I got her

[millertime89]

My BRB sheds every 3-5 weeks, so its not strange at all. Especially as babies.

How old is Amelia?

[Snakesitter]

I agree with Kyle, it would not be abnormal for a young Brazilian to shed again in as little a month. As they age, this will increase to about once every eight to ten weeks.

[Jazzmyne]

amelia is 2 years old

[millertime89]

there are plenty of other things that cause snakes to shed more frequently. A recent injury is one easy example, the shed more frequently as its their way of healing.

[Snakesitter]

True. A larger meal than normal can also trigger an early shed.

[shaunyboy]

can you post pictures of the pink belly ?

could she have possibly burned herself ?

most burns start out pink,then start to turn brown at the parts most affected

that said,it may NOT be a burn,as going into shed can also cause slight colour changes

cheers shaun

I agree with Shaun. You know what they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
