Snakeman's snakes

[snake man]

Are you sure it's her blood? What was she eating? Maybe it was the blood from her food.

It was before feeding.

[ProXimuS]

Oooh, hmm...I didn't realize it was before feeding. I couldn't really say. Hopefully someone else will chime in soon with some help.

When was the last time she fed?

[ConcinusMan]

Just watch the mouth area carefully for swelling. If you don't see any I wouldn't worry about it. If she's in with other snakes check them over too. I have occasionally found small traces of blood like that in enclosures or on snakes. The occasional random occurrence usually isn't any cause for concern but if it's happening regularly you should try to determine if it's coming from someone's cloaca. Some parasite infections can cause small traces of blood to come out when the snake urinates or defecates. It also happens when there's been copulating going on. Check the cloacas and see if they look recently "used"

She was fed right after this picture was taken. Thank you for the advise and I will check it out.

[ConcinusMan]

So is she in with other snakes or not? Might not even be from her.

[snake man]

Sorry yes she is and they were both checked over two and all looks good, I thnk she just nicked by one of her hides when I was trying to get her out.

[ConcinusMan]

That could be. Probably nothing to worry about.
