That's not good, she seems perfectly happy and healthy. I'll take a picture of her belly first thing in the morning when we take her out. I have no idea how old she is, we've only had her since december. I can tell you this though, the previous owner used no heat lamp, just a subtrate heater, he used a sand subtrate, there was no water dish in the tank or any signs that there ever was one and when we put one in she went straight for it, she wasn't shedding properly, just in tiny little flakes, but since we've had her she's doing fine, she shed in one piece last time. There are indented lines in her skin which do concern us, but they don't seem sensitive. When we got her I washed her tank right away and it I don't have reason to believe that the previous owner had ever washed it. She had an attitude problem when we got her and would bite when we tried to take her out, which is why we got her for so cheap, but now she's the sweetest snake we have. That's her history as far as I know it, but we are the third of her owners that I know of, and I don't know the first so I have no idea how he took care of her. The tank she came in is a bit small, 2' wide x 1' long x 1.5' tall, but I'm going to build her a new one very soon.
