i agree, it looks like blood oozing out of the hole.

Could a dog have gotten into your enclosure?

There are a couple of parasitic worms that could cause this type of "migrating hole". My mom's a vet parasitoligist with extensive work on reptiles . . . I'll get her to look at the photos and see what she thinks.

I would bring her inside and keep a watch.
