Rosy Red Belly?

My BRB's belly scales ove the past year have become more and more rosy reddish in color. Has anyone else had this happen?

While colour changes can happen, are you sure you're not just looking at it during the day? During the day BRB's bellies can be pinkish, but at night they turn white.

That could be it. I take him out at different times all the time so im not sure wether its at night or day. Its just I saw a post somwhere about someones carpet python's belly turning red then someone said that it may be belly rot. So I was just checking.

theres a thread around here somewhere that talks about the belly's color changing with the time of day and stuff. dont know where it is though, i think it was posted by ChrisinaM

Yup! I didn't even notice that until I read the thread, and then I checked it out to see.
Her belly was bright white and her little moons were orange. Very neat.
Do other snakes do this?
