all red belly? (new to bts)
(: hello, I just recently purchased an adult Blue tongue, named Joliet Jake and upon further inspection it appears his belly is a salmon/reddish coloration even running up to the base of his neck and jaw. Is this scale rot?

probably not, but if you are worried, post some pics!
some of mine have some pink/orange/reddish bellies, and they always have.

Re: all red belly? (new to bts)
It really depends, so pictures would help, but many blueys naturally have pink/red/salmon colored undersides. Mine does.
