Tonight, while doing bath rotations with my adults I was observing my girl Charlotte. She's my big orange female. I could tell she was about to dump a load in the water. Instead of fecal matter only, there was also blood. It's been months since I've had to use my Vet.(all my Vet budget is gone, emergency funds also) but it looks like I'll have to go in the red for her. Not sure what to expect. She's eating good and her attitude is normal. She's been back eating for about a month after a long month and a half break.
I'm not sure what to hope for. I'm guessing it's a parasite problem.
I'll have to wait and see.
Here's a photo from last year. Looks like I have to update her file with something more current. This is my daughter Hailee's(age 9) snake and she is very worried her girl.

They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

Re: Cause for concern
uh oh. Is it possible that your daughter may have been handling her at some point recently and accidentally "shmooshed" the snake without realizing it? I've seen that happen and it starts with blood in the stool and results in death within a short time.(a month or two)

Re: Cause for concern
That's not possible since I monitor all of Hailee's handling and she is unable to unlock the enclosure. and get the snakes out. Originally Posted by ConcinnusMan

Re: Cause for concern
Not so good news. I hope the vet will tell you it's not so bad
