Do pins normally have like a caramel/butterscotch tone on their bellies?

Just wanna make sure that its not too hot for her or any fungi growing there.

Thanks guys!

Really? 47 people are gonna view and none of them have ever seen the belly of a pin? Not trying to sound mean, but I want to make sure my snake is ok and I dont have to worry about its health.

Any helpful wisdom or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Do you have a thermostat on your heat tape or pads?

I'll take a pic of my pin's belly for you when I get home so you can compare:).

Thx for the help, but as we've seen on alot of ads, pics sometimes dont do the snakes justice and wont catch all the colors. So I cant honestly use them to compare. But I greatly appreciate the effort and willingness to respond.

Believe me this is a very noticeable, but doesnt look to be growning, or changing shape or color. I may just have a unique girl, but I will monitor her for a short while longer and then make the decision to take her to the vet or not.

Yes, I have a Ranco set up to my juvi rack running on either 3in or 4in flexwatt. The hot temps are normally around 93. I monitor them every morning and night.

I looked for you and there's a slight creamy color but nothing too alarming. It still looked pretty 'white' to me, however. Sorry if I didn't help much.
