pinkish - reddish color on side of snake.

(This picture belongs to idealreptiles from an earlier post.)

Quick question:
After my first breeding sucess. I noticed that four
out of seven of my snakes have this same reddish - pinkish
color on the side. Is this because it is a new born
(born on 10-10-05)? Or is it a morph of some sort?

Not really sure. I waited until after they shed, but the
reddish-pinkish color is still there like the picture below.

and the vet bills will be high... but if you send me all the ones like this I will make sure they get very good care for the rest of their life.

Very Nice Looking.

That color is nothing to worry about. It doesn't look like scale rot or any other skin infection.
If you are owrried about them, try and keep an eye on the pinkish area. If you notice raised scales or odd marks, take them to the vet.
