spots of blood in shed?

tragic8ball May 19, 2008 07:06 PM

I think I have seen this mentioned before on here but I don't remember.

I fed one of my females today and while she was eating I was doing some spot cleaning and removed a shed skin from last night/today, I didn't notice any problems but I unrolled the skin and noticed there were about 3 very smalls spots of what appears to be blood on the shed. I didn't see any spots on the bedding or on the snake.

I didn't take her out to examine since she JUST ate

how concerned should I be?
