Where exactly is she bleeding? From the vent, on the scales, belly, mouth? How much blood is there? Was it in her poop? How close is she to laying her eggs or was she just recently bred? If it's a body bleeder, are there any sharp edges, slivers or nails in the new enclosure? If she is bleeding from the vent, it could be many things, from parasites, an overly rough mating, or problems within the snake. If the latter you will need to take her to a vet to check on her. If near to laying her eggs, one could have ruptured within her and that could be the source of blood. It may pass without any problems but could cause egg binding if it blocks the passage.

The bleeding is normal after they shed, if it is near the spur/vent area just after a shed don't worry about it.

How did you get 3 albinos if the male was "normal" like you said?

An even better question: How do you get 9 eggs from a 2 ft female?
Other than that, there wasn't a whole lot of detail in your post to be able to give a good answer...

X-mas turkey with a side of troll? Heh heh....
I totally missed that 9 eggs from a 2-foot snake was well. Damn, my record is 9 eggs and that female was borderline 5.5-6 feet!

There is no way a 2 foot female ball python can reproduce and give you any eggs!

Not only dose he have a female albino that is 2 ft. long that can lay 9 eggs, he ends up with a 100% het for albino male that was sold to him as a normal.
If I were you I'd take that snake to the vet and then call Guiness.
