Brooks' Colour Question...

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!

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.

Okay, here's a pic...

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?
