    Exclamation Blood in the cage!?

    as many of you know i have an 08 baby who was born quite late in the year... she is not wuite tame and often musks... she is around 18 inches and eats mostly worms with some mouse parts and taliapia.... she went into shed and stopped eating for the last 2 or so weeks.... i go to try and feed her today... she shed today and i picked her up because her shed was un sucessful and tore.... i removed the rest of the shed and while doing so a very red musk came out..... i also notice some more redish feces in the inclosure..... what do i do? she just ate which she hasn't done in a while so i doubt she's feeling too poorly... but i keep finding her slow to react about once a month due to what i'm guessing is dehydration.... after i find her like this i immediatly place her in the water dish till she drinks her fill then into a damp box for the night of a few hours.... i just thought it was dehydration... but could it be tied to the blood?

    Obviously the blood in the faeces is a problem. I suggest consulting a vet.
