Hi guys!

Noticed that my Midas has developed a pink hue in his hump. It is definitely under the skin "inside the hump". Just wanted to double check that this is normal. He is a "creamsicle" midas and has no orange or red on him as many other midas/rd/medevils do. Only yellow and white. Not too paranoid, just noticed the change and want to make sure all is well, and see if any of you have experience this before. Here is a picture but don't rely on it too much since it doesn't show how pink it is, just the best pic I could get for reference. Thanks!

Nothing looks to be out of the norm here. Very nice Midas!
 
Thanks guys! The hump is getting more red....I wonder if they are just blood vessels under he skin as he is still growing, and so is his hump...not sure
