check the temps of your cage - esp the "hot spot". I have never kept ball pythons, but I had a repeated rapid shedding experience with one of my large retics - she was in the middle of a stack of large cages, each with a big kane heat mat on the bottom. you guessed it. between her heater, and the one on the cage above, she was just too hot - not eating and shedding about every 2 1/2 - 3 weeks. It took me a few sheds to figure it out and I felt like a real idiot. That reddened belly sounds like a (possibly infected) burn, but can't be sure without seeing it.
