I've noticed my kingsnake passing a little bit of blood after she poops a couple times now. The first was when she was in a tub while I was cleaning her tank, and she then shed about half and hour later. I was a little concerned but thought it might just have something to do with the shed and a sensitive vent, so I decided to wait and see if it would happen again. She pooped just fine a few times after that, but I noticed it again today. To clarify, the actual feces look very normal, the blood isn't passed with them, and it's just a tiny amount that comes out at the end. From some searching I've found a few situations that sound similar to mine, but I haven't been able to find many clear answers. What sounds most likely is overstraining or possibly parasites. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is a vet visit in order?
