If its just a small amount then its normal after a shed cycle .

The tissue right around the vent area is somewhat delicate. Sometimes a snake will pull its shed off too quickly and cause some bleeding around the vent. It's perfectly normal and harmless.

my girl shed again a couple of days ago and the same thing happened. the vent looked a bit sore afterwards but the following day it was back to normal and opened up the waste gates!
i measure her length after each shed and i couldnt believe she had grown 2.75" in 6 weeks!
