So basically, I bought a probing set from my breeder. I wanted to check my female ball python just in case as in the future I might breed her. As I was probing yesterday, she slightly bled from her cloaca. I used lube and the correct sized probe. Being very gentle and I was taught how to probe. Plus it wasn't the first time I've done this. After probing, when I pulled it out, a tiny piece of what seemed like dead skin (as she just shed, so I assumed that's what it was?) came out along with a very small trickle of blood. I'm very concerned. The bleeding didn't last and it was very little. I am assuming she is female as the probe didn't pass in deep at all. I did probe both sides. Very shallow probing. I'm just worried I hurt her although I was very careful to be gentle. And as soon as I hit a wall I stopped.
