    Blood trail after pairing?

    Recently I have noticed that every time I put a male in with my pastel female, I wake up to find little trails of blood on the paper substrate. Is this common, or should I be concerned? With my other female I never see these trails which leads me to believe it the girl, not the male

    Now don't go getting me all excited inside dr del....



    I've only witnessed one solid lock between them, and she really has shown no interest in him ever since... I guess it only takes one... I'll keep pairing them until I see the ovy, but thanks for the good news!

    blood trails are just assurance that either copulation took place or at the very least hemipenes were exposed. it's a good thing so best of luck!
