Hi, may sound stupid but ive recently noticed that one of my snakes under belly has gone from white and black stripes to like a opinkie white and black..
Is this usual?
Thanx |

what morph is it?
Some snakes change colours as they get older. Could just be a normal metamorphosis taking place 
Really need age, colour, temps etc, to make sure it isn't something else
I wouldn't worry too much though, but we'll wait until one of the big shots takes a look eh? |

snakes can change colour quite dramatically from hatchie to adult...............
as a normal i'd expect some orangey colouration to come through on his ventral/belly scales at some point and to probably get darker with age. a pinkish tinge could indicate an imminent shed but is much more commonly seen in royals...........
a pic would be good in case it's something like an infection though....... |
