Rainbows sometimes get a light pink tint on their belly even when not in shed, Luke. So long as the color is relatively evenly distributed and the scales look normal, the snake should be fine. Just keep a loose eye on the situation to make sure you catch any problems right away if anything changes.

Yes, a pink belly is usually a sign of looming shed.
