Tail wagging/mouse bite.

[Yoganderson]

Ok guys so I have a few questions. First the day of or around his feeding when I go into his cage he some times wags the tip of his tail and looks pissed off. After feeding he is fine again. Any Ideas to what and why this is. Second I just fed him. I always hold the mouse with tongs. When he was done eating I noticed a little spot of blod about the size of a quarter. It isn't bleeding anymore. It didn't trail around the cage. Should I be worried. Or is there anything I should do. Thanks

Ummm. Any help. Or ideas.

Pics would help of the bite. People will probably voice more (at least some) opinions then.

I haven't taken any pics. He just ate early er today so don't want to handle him.

Any advice as to what the tail wagging could be about.

i haven't seen this in BPs, but in other species, short tail pythons, king snakes and rattlers, it is a sign of defensive agitation.

Maybe the blood is from the mouse..?

This is exactly what I was thinking. Do you notice any actual bite marks on your snake's body at all?

He has a little spot on his belly that I could see when he was cruising around. It looked like some scales were pulled down a little bit.
