So my girl shed today. Shes about 3 yrs old and 3ish feet long. I was taking her shed out and noticed a red spot on the actual shed. so i took a look at her anal area and i saw not bleeding...so some spots of blood and some small "things" for lack of better words...hanging out of her anus. Im kinda clueless. ive never read about it. ive never had any problems before. Shes a great eater. had a great shed from her too. So whats the deal? Any body ever notice this? Normal? Bad? Thanks

It could possibly be a prolaspe" a bulge from the cloaca,It basically looks likes hemroids of some sort." usually caused by internal parisites, stress, and there are a few more reasons. Sometimes it will go back in and sometimes it won't unless you have surgery but for the most part you might want to look into it. My brb had one when I was a younger lad.
but I'm not an expert it could possibly be somthing less threatening, good luck.

this can happen from time to time after sheds, freaked me out the first time I saw it.

nothing to worry about

here is what mine looked like the first time I saw it

Its breeding season now. Do you have any sexualy mature males in your collection? Perhaps they smell the pheremones. I noticed the same tiny blood spots last year and had no idea what they were. Then this year as I places alot of virgin females with males I got a whole new show. I watched alot of my females go nuts with the foreplay. As soon as they strongly detect the pheremones of the males they start lifting their tails up like a horn and waiving them around like a doggy tail and at the same time releasing various amounts of blood as they drag there tail. Very interesting to see. Ive watched most my females do it this year. They were definately ready. Contrary to popular belief the blood spots are absolutely NOT a sign of copulation. All of that blood starts leaking out prior to copulation.
