Hi, this might not necessarily be a health issue, it may be completely normal, but I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it.

I recently noticed that my new cb11 Pastel has a line on her belly about 4" from her tail, it splits through about 5 scales and looks a little red.

I checked my Cinnamon and he has something similar, and my 2010 normal looks like she has a fainter trace of it. So could this be a normal part of their anatomy I've never noticed before?
