noticed that Boo's tummy was pink last night, knew she was gonna shed soon so put her back, spot checked her vivarium a minute ago and picked her up to look at her tummy, it has not as much of a pink pigment on as it did last night, but i did notice what looked like brown under some of her scales that have never been there before. They are only on a few of her scales, these ones:
(the pictures show the same scales)

has she actually shed yet? it might be something to do with her coming up to shed..

I know my royal who has just shed had bleeding scales on his belly and i had no idea what it was, was told to wait till he had shed and then look and bingo there is no more blood..

so as long as she is clean and dry i would wait till she has shed but if your worried just keep an eye on it...
