Many cornsnakes will go through this type of color change on thier bellys in addition to thier backs. It's completely natural and even expected and prefered in some morphs. Think of it as the next stage in puberty for your snake :)

My adult normal is white toward her head and gradually changes to orange at her tail.

i'm going to sound like the noob I am and ask: at what age does a hatchling become an adolescent? (or am i missing a stage in between?)
 
My little normal corn's belly is slowly turning orange, too, with every shed. It's nothing to worry about. :)

I'm not 100% certain on this, but this is what I have noticed:

From the time a snake hatches, up until it is a year old, it is called a hatchling. Once it is a year old, it is called a yearling until it reaches two years old. At that point it is refered to as a sub-adult. Adult corns are usually age 3 and up, but don't quote me on that part... it may be 5 and up.

There really is not set 'puberty' stage for corns, each corn developes at a slightly different pace. Color isn't always link to age either. I have some snakes that had an orange or redish wash on thier bellys from the moment they hatched out of the egg. Others developed somewhere down the road.

I hope that helps...
