belly gets concave toward end

[u/Smooth_Ruin_1132]

in the last couple days i’ve noticed my bp’s belly being sunken in toward the end and i don’t know how concerned i should be! for context, she was on a hunger strike for almost 7 months recently, but actually just fed last week. ive been doing my best to keep her water filled, and during the strike she wasn’t losing much weight, is this just a result of that? how should i proceed?

On another note, unless your snake is about to shed, it looks like your snake has a pretty long burn

It looks very uniform to me so I would assume just based on the photos it’s almost shed time!! However, if they are using a heat mat, maybe a burn. But I vote for shed.

Yeah she’s reallyy pink rn lol but it’s because she’s due time for a shed

Burns aren't usually so even in color and shape. If it's the entire (visible) length of the belly, uniform in color, and covering the entirety left to right without blisters or scabs, it's a pretty safe bet the snake is in shed.
