I can't call myself a woma breeder until my eggs hatch, but it sounds like it might be stomititis. I'd get that snake to a good herp vet as soon as you can. You can mix betadine and lukewarm water until its the color of ice tea. Take a TB syringe and rinse it's mouth out twice a day in the mean time.
Good luck!

thanks for the answer
but what im worried about is the blood??
have you ever seen or heard of that ?

If there's an infection a little blood is normal. Try the betadine rinse and call a vet. It could be impacted bedding that festered or something else.
