    Blood after shed and a Bumble Bee

    I have two questions and I am new to the forum so I'll just ask both my questions in this thread.

    1. My male ball python (954g) shed today. While discarding it I noticed spots of blood on the shed from middle of shed and then at the cloaca there was more than small spots on the shed but a light stain. I searched his body and found no scabs. Should I be worried?

    2. I have a hatch ling bumble bee morph. She is about to have her first shed with me and her whole body is turning pink not just her belly. Is this normal for this morph?

    Thanks

    1. Your Ball python will be fine. Sometimes when they shed, shedding from in the cloaca will sometimes have spots of blood on it, but that is completely normal and it does not hurt your snake in any way.

    2. Since there is a lot of white on a Bumblebee, the white will normally turn a light pinkish color. I would assume this is normal, especially for a high white Bumblebee. You have nothing to worry about either, and I'm sure she'll be fine.
