Re: blood after shed
i've never experienced this but if it was me, i would probably put some kind of antibiotic ointment on it: bacitracin, hydrocortisone, etc.

A few drops of blood seen at the vent area or on nearby bedding right at the time of shed isn't a problem. If it continues to bleed, looks nasty or in any way concerns you, then a call to your herp vet is a always a good idea. :)
