I've had this male pastel for a couple of months now. The first time he shed I noticed a tiny amount of blood in the newspaper, I checked him up thinkin that he was injured by his clay pot hide by rubbing himself but found no injury. Yesterday, while in the process of shedding, i saw my snake's cloacal region bled as the old skin passed that area! Is it possibe that the old skin bonds and ruptures the cloaca? Has anyone ever experienced this?
