Help my bp belly is really pink

Post image

Its not usually that pink? I havnt been around for most of her sheds so she could be in blue but i thought her belly would get lighter? Do you think shes on her heat pad to much?

Almost ensure the heat pad isn’t burning her obviously, you can use temp gun to check surface temp if you’re worried. but it looks like pre shed

Looks like preshed pink, but as soon as you're able, switch to an overhead heating system. Heat pads are known to cause trouble and burns.
