Need Some Advice: Pooped, Shed & Blood??? is this normal?
i have a Female Mojave BP 125g from the All Maryland show 9/12/15 she has been in blue and was due to shed anytime. well today i checked on her and she had pooped and started shedding so i came back and checked on her a lil later and pulled the shed out and the lil cardboard box made into a hide and noticed a very small smear on cardboard hide of blood and then noticed a very smear smear of blood on shedding but checked her head to tip of tail she no marks cuts blood etc.. is this normal or do i have a issue?

This normal. Sometimes snakes are a little rough when shedding and they end up rubbing too hard on a branch or what not. Just keep an eye on it, but no need to worry.

thanks that's about where it looked like it would of came from, it was in that area of the shed and it was on top of the cardboard hide and it was smeared. but overall i would say it was only a tiny drop of blood, but just wanted to make sure everything was good and okay. Thanks again.
