    Its normal for them to have a little pink coloring on their thighs and lower belly.

    Redleg is cause by overly dirty conditions and foul water. How often do you clean both enclosures?

    Haha, I had a similar paranoia attack a few weeks ago

    If I'm not mistaken, don't you usually see venation or evidence of burst vessels under the skin (blotches of darker red, not uniform) in cases of red leg? To me this looks healthy, but I want to emphasize that I know very little about this.

    Yes, but it can also begin by looking pink then it turns red and you can see the blotches.
