Merauke Blue Tongue Skink Red Scales?

Hi All,

I must admit i'm new to Blue Tongue Skinks and maybe i'm over-reacting, but Magnus (As shown in the attached image) has some red coloring to his scales that looks extra red today when I took him out of the cage. Normally he has slight coloration but not this deep usually. He recently shed a couple of days ago and he gets cranky beforehand so I wasn't able to check the last couple of days.

Should I be worried about this? Help?

Normal coloration. The colors can fluctuate during the shed cycles
