Looks to me like that snake suffered from a bad heating pad burn (heating pads suck, heating tape or heating lamps are the ONLY safe options, and even then only a lamp if the snake has no access to the bulb.)

Take a look in the classifieds. That pic was taken from an ad placed by Tony Hurt, Snake Evolutions. It's one of his red belly het for HC albino. Definitely not a belly burn.

so, are those completely new? i haven't ever heard of it. As long as it isn't damaged, it is very pretty looking.

It is indeed from Tony's Ad. My question was.. has anyone seen this morph or is it something tony has exclusively? I haven't seen any other available.

This is not a new morph. From my experience I had three babies with red bellies. The cause was that the newspaper substrate got wet and this condition occured. I also had a three month old that had a normal belly that turned red after spilling the water bowl and was sitting on top of the newspaper for two days. After the snakes shaded this red color was no longer visible. I think that wet conditions and color dye from the newspaper is the culprit.
