my big boy

My male just shed. he is about 3-1/2 to 4 feet. he has been eating and doesn't seem to be in distress. Seems normal. His shed today was beautiful and complete but there was a little tiny bit of blood on the tail part so I looked at him and his butt is red. I am gonna let it go for a couple days to see if it clears up. Could it be a complication from a shed because I have never seen that before and he doesn't seem abnormal acting either. As active as he ever is and eating the same as he ever has. Any ideas?????

A small amount of blood at the tail is 100% normal. The shedding process can make the vent of a snake bleed a little. As long as it isn't gushing blood you have nothing to worry about.

Apparently my reply isn't long enough. Now it is.

Thank you very much....whewww. LOL with all of the sheds I have seen with my 3 I guess I have never seen that, or maybe paid close enough attention.
