So I pulled my newest addition out of quarantine early (she was in quarantine for a little over a month) because I have too many new additions coming in next week to keep her in quarantine as well. She has been doing great, eating like a champ, no signs of illness and she just shed today so I thought it would be okay.
I put her and my other two normals in the tub together to get some pictures and I noticed that there was some blood on the paper. After doing some investigation it I discovered it was coming from her anal vent. She is a '05/'06 proven breeder and 1925 on empty. I know that sometimes you will see blood after a pair mates BUT all of the snakes in the tub together were females.
This is the first time I've seen any blood with any of my snakes. I'm trying really hard not to panic and to come up with a reasonable explanation for the blood, but I'm really freaking out because if there is something really wrong with her I just exposed my only other breeder sized female and one of my 2010s to it. Please help.
Edit: I feel I should add that I had her around my neck for 10-15 minutes before she went in the tub for pictures and she wasn't bleeding then.
