Pink Belly?

[l3atman]

hey all,
just a quick question, just had my olive python out and noticed a few areas on her belly that look a little pinkish, and im not really sure what this means, i did some research and for ball pythons it means they are about to start a shed cycle, im just not sure if this is the same for olives?
...
she is due for a shed any time now though as when she coils up she is very wrinkly...
...
any information would be great

i tried to take some, but it is a really faint pink so it doesnt show up all the well...
...
i will post them anyway, and try to describe it the best i can...
...
i can only see it in the bottom half of her body... it is a very light pink, and there is a pinkish crease running down the middle of her belly scales but none of it is really that obvious...

Just means he'll be useless for breeding, cos he bats for the other side.
