    Nose injury? Maybe respiratory problem?

    Hi all, so I've had my little girl for about 2 years now and one day she began to have a nose bleed, it didn't last long and any signs of it went away after her shed. I looked online and was told it was probably nothing unless it persists.
    A few months go bye and right after I finish cleaning her enclosure and place her back in it her nose begins to bleed again and this time it looks like she was wounded! The only way how I could think that she was wounded was that I may have filled her water bowl with too hot of water( I admittedly didn't check to see) but I'm still worried it might be a repository problem.

    You can see the little black spot under her nose where I think the wound is. Her behavior hasn't had any noticeable changed. Is this just a wound that will heal overtime or is it something serious?

    The wound is the pink bit above the black dot.

    It looks like she was either rubbing it on something in the enclosure or got nipped on the nose by the prey ( if you feed live ).

    It's not unusual to have wounds re-open slightly with a shed as the scab gets shed or pulled off during the process. Plus they rub that spot pretty often getting the shed started.

    So it will most likely go away after a shed?

    It might take a few sheds. Don't be surprised if it bleeds a few drops with the next shed. My Mocha has a small healing laceration on his side, and he smeared some blood around when he shed, but once the wound was cleaned up it was dramatically smaller than it had been pre-shed.

    Ok, thank you.
    I'll keep an eye out and wait for the next shed.
