I have an albino garter, About 1 year of age, i don't know the gender and while handling him/her today I noticed a wet feeling on my hand.

I presumed it was musk and went to return him/her to the "tank", then noticing a small drop of blood at the end of the tail.


Just wondering if this is normal, or if there's something wrong (he/she's been cut ect.)

One thing to add, there seems to be an "extra" bit at the end of the tail, looking a bit like a skin flake if it were a mammal.



Thanks for taking the time to read this and any advice is greatly appreciated.
