    Worried! Is this ok?

    Ok so I am preparing for feeding time today and I look in my little female lesser's tub and she indeed finally shed and i pick up her hide and find blood spots. I check her over completely, no scale is out of place I check her mouth, face and inside her mouth. I check around her cloaca. Nothing. She is alert and looking for food. I have never had anything like this happen before. I took out the droplets of blood on papertowel and took photos. Could it have been from shed?! Photos below are of her just now.

    A little bleeding during shed is normal. It comes from the vent, which has some delicate tissue that sometimes tears a little when the old skin pulls away from it. Perfectly normal and harmless.
