Shedding and bleeding
Hi, I went to go check on my snake this morning found the she had shed then I saw blood coming from her cloaca, and I just wanted to know if this is normal and she has left over shed and someone told me to put her in a damp pillow case from 30min to 1hr is this true

Depends on how much blood, and if the bleeding continues. Could be nothing more then an abrasion near the vent from shedding, but I'd keep a close eye on her and have her looked at if the bleeding persists.
and i have heard that as one of the methods to aid a bad shed, after you let her chill in the bag let her run threw a moist towel in your hand to remove the rest. there are several others too if you choose
good luck

Re: Shedding and bleeding
Thanks for all the replys, yes its just a little bleeding nothing serious like cuts and gashes. It has stopped from what I saw of it.

Re: Shedding and bleeding
It's actually very common for there to be a few drops of blood, either on the snake or on the shed, near the cloaca, so long as it's just a little bit, think nothing of it. =)
