red belly scales?

iant Jun 18, 2007 09:44 PM

Noticed tonight my male dom has a bit of red on his belly scales. I check the floor of the encloser and no hotspot, checked the boa, and no parasites. Do the change color? or might it be the substrate? ( orchad bark) any ideas?

lol actually yes, he's clouding up now. I guess thats just his scale color? He looks good, just hadn't seen that before, I have had balls, burms, and a red-tail from time to time, but this is my first dum's.
