I have 4 port macs and notice that their bellies go pink when they eat. But the one in this pic has been pink for 2 days. I fed her yesterday, she took a big rat. But the pink hasn't gone away. Do they go pink when they are coming up to shed? I just haven't noticed any of my others go like this before. She is always at her warm end so I am worrying that she isn't warm enough but she has a light set on a thermo. at 30c.
Is it too early to worry?

when I did have diamonds I noticed the same thing. Either they went pink from constricting there meal (blood) or sometimes when they were shedding (not all the time). Also check the temp of the pray item your offering. Sometimes if you defrost your rodents in hot/warm water they may feel not to bad to touch but the insides can be hot so when the snake constricts it leaves the pink .

when mine was younger (it's nearly 10 months) it had quite a pink belly, it wasn't eating as well then. but i has a litlle heat mat for heat only. i thought it might be the blood in it's skin then. since that it is normal . i don't think it's a problem.

yep my coastal dus it , its like she blushes after she's attacked and starts constricting!
i put it down to like an adrenilin rush all pumped and excited about food hehehe
She is in kill mode !
My Darwins blush aswell, but with all of them it disapears after the've gulped the rat carcass down and kill mode switches off......

My Diamond does the same - it is quite common - I think it's basically like a blood rush from excitement as mine does it when upset or striking for food...
