Might seems like a weird question...........

Well my bp is about to shed. I figured she was going to shed today or tomorrow. But she had just eaten about 5 days ago. So she tried to poop, but I guess since she was just about to shed, the poop didnt come out to easily. So anyways, she pooped and it took the shedded skin off of the end of the tail, past the vent. She hasnt shed the rest of the body yet. I am worried though because the vent is a little bloody, and I am not sure why. Does anyone know what reason this might be for??
Thanks

Yeh myn did that once and there was some blood in his old skin but i asked here and was told its normal and hes fine now so don't worry.

...sometimes when BP lay those monster turds they occasionally break a few tiny blood vessels and the result is a little exsanguination (bleeding). Nothing to get alarmed over. It's kind of like when I eat a bunch of jalepenos.....

your snake should be fine, it happen to mine once, but i think it was the hemiphines(sp?) showing. can they actually do that?
