I have a Motley baby corn that weighs 8 grams. Got it about a month ago and I recently noticed that his underside is orange-ish (im color blind so maybe its another color) from the tail an up about 1/3 the body, the rest of the belly is white. Never got a good look at the belly before so not sure if it's always been like that.
Im wondering if this is normal or if it some kind of health issue. I did a quick Google search and the only thing I found was a thread about a bacteria infection from a moist environment. The one time it went into shed it didn't come off in one piece so I sprayed the tank a few times but no where near as much as my ball python, It's also pretty dry in my house.
Any info would be appreciated. An sorry for the bad pic, it is still pretty flighty an didn't want to spook it with the camera. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180222/1d0f34dfadc7aa55ba9b69423653bedf.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180222/f7d14d318fb9d96e4efe87bdc331d895.jpg

It looks like normal pigmentation. Many if not most corn snakes have a wash of color on their bellies, and some pattern morphs can mess with it.
