Snake pooing blood, please help

[ConcinusMan]

Nothing in that glob looks like poo or urates... It looks like infection. Could be some sort of parasite issue?

Agreed and yes I think it is parasites. The reason i think it's flagellates is the symptoms fit and they all have it. That looks like mucous and/or secondary bacterial infection. Sometimes tapeworms or hookworms can cause bleeding but those don't spread from snake to snake easily or at all while flagellates are highly contagious. Think of this illness as the snake version of dysentery.

They either had it when you got them and so the person you got them from likely has this spreading through his/her collection, or they somehow got it from contaminated water or soil. Being how you feed them worms they could have gotten them from soil / contaminated batch of earthworms. I would reconsider getting worms from any source you have been using and find another or better yet, stop feeding them worms and get them on rodents.

You should probably barricade the room as well if you have kids or dogs/cats. The last thing you want is your dog snuffling around on the floor and coming into contact with it. When mine had a parasite that could transfer to mammals, the entire apartment went on lockdown.

That snake in the pic looks male to me! Did the vet do a fecal on this snake? Something's not right here! Please post pics that shows the underside of this snakes tail. I have over 100 garters and have never had one miscarriage. I have had them throw slugs/jellies, but never anything that looked like that!

How do you know it's a female suddenly? Not to criticize, but what's to say that your new guess is right when your old one wasn't? Did you see actual unfertilized ovum?

Even if you are right and this has something to do with a 'miscarriage', something still looks wrong. You shouldn't see blood like that. You're still dealing with an infection of some sort, and that snake still needs to see a vet for it.

She saw a vet said she had fallen pregnant to early...I'm still not 100percent convinced I've never got the sex wrong myself we'll sorry to say I let her go back to original owner said what I thought and what I'd been told just don't want to take the risk anymore felt really bad but I've got my others to think about baby's everything and all my attention the past month has been on her/him?? Strange but the worrie that says it could of been parasites still stays with me, just had to make a choice regrettably had to take it back

I agree with the rest of the comments. There's nothing about this that seems to have anything to do with "early pregnancy". And "miscarriage" for a snake does not involve bleeding from the cloaca or mucous looking secretions. They just drop unfertilized eggs, dead babies, paritally developed eggs, etc. No blood involved.
