MY burmese turned his water bowl over last night and soaked the newspaper and I cleaned the tank up today and noticed a pinkish purplish colored rash on his underside. Can anyone help. Thanks

Probably a bacterial infection. Now, a sterile paper substrate should be used until the problem is resolved. I believe the recommended treatment is a Neo/Polysporin ointments applied topically on the infected skin. You can probably clean the under-belly first with Nolvasan or Betadine.
Meretseger or Oldherper may know of better techniques for treatment.

You guys think I'm smart!
Don't really have anything to add, though. Never had to deal with this one myself, my problems are always related to low moisture instead of too much of it.

first thought ... you said newspaper ? could it be possible what you are seeing is " ink bleed" from the spilt water bowl ?
If thats not the case what are you using for heat source? it could also be heat induced , and if not has he/she actually sat in any water for longe amounts of time as in on the cage floor etc?
