    This normal. Sometimes snakes are a little rough when shedding and they end up rubbing too hard on a branch or what not. Just keep an eye on it, but no need to worry.

    Normal. The skin around the vent is particularly sensitive and will occasionally bleed during a shed. It's typically nothing to worry about.

    thanks that's about where it looked like it would of came from, it was in that area of the shed and it was on top of the cardboard hide and it was smeared. but overall i would say it was only a tiny drop of blood, but just wanted to make sure everything was good and okay. Thanks again.
