Is this the only spot or are you saying that it is all down her Belly in different places?
Looks to me like she got her scales caught on one of the Tank decorations.. Whats your setup look like? You would be suprised what kinds of things can catch on them, Drift wood ect.. Ive even seen people catch a snake on the Plastic around the glass taking them out of the enclosure.
Thats heals.. Just keep Newspaper down instead of wood substrate to keep would clean.. Also if you see the wound (flesh) use neosporin (w/OUT PAIN RELEIF as its TOXIC). Should heal fine.
Also feed, its winter, some adults go off feed. How old is she, how long have you had her, whats her aprx weight and what are your temps and how are you heating and controlling heat.

We can help with the feeding issue if you can tell us more about the enclosure, temperatures, heating elements, etc.
A picture of your set up would be great.
Is the blood spot just in that one area or are there other spots? It is a little weird... could anything have fallen on her?

IMO that calls for a trip to the Vet..
Also you cant use regular bulbs for heat.. Thats 24/7 light.. All heating needs a thermistat, you have to control the temps.
You Need to go read the Sub Forum Stickies on Husbandry.

Yeah that is weird... I would schedule a vet appointment.
Are you using an under tank heating pad? It could be a burn if you are.
