Is it sensitive to the touch?
Does it show any blistering, scabbing or wound like appearance?
If not & its just pink it could just be the shed cycles?
If its not warm enough to burn your hand when in contact for an extended period as mentioned its not hot enough to burn them.
I also suggest getting a cheap temp gun to know exactly what the temps are in a second, its way easier to monitor & check things with one.
In five minutes you can check multiple setups hot & cold temps etc. & be sure they are in the desired ranges, Mark

He sheds like every two months, is that normal? Do they go through growth spurts? It doesn't seem sensitive, no blisters or scabs. His belly scales are very pink and look like they are a little wrinkled... Any thoughts?
Sorry about all the questions, guys, I'm a new Python owner.
can you post pictures?

I don`t see anything wrong in the picture. It looks like it`s going into a shed.
Your snake is going into shed. Look at the blue eyes you should see a shed in a week or two nothing to worry about. I would still get a proper thermometer and check your temps.

OK yep, Might want to work on the humidity some though.
Misting when in shed or a humid hide or both work well along with a dish large enough to soak in, some snakes will, some will never do so, Mark
