Hey there, my poor little Royal Ezio seems to be bleeding however it isn't rubbing off onto any surfaces or anything so I have assumed that its underneath his scales, and not a cut because I cannot see one as of yet. He is only after having his eyes turn clear again after being 'in blue' and so I would like to know if it is possible for a snake to bleed during shedding? Its coming from the underneath of him, right in the middle of his body. Any help at all would be nice, cheers,

Okie dokie guys, I picked him up today to see how is was after his bath, and the whole "bruised" look that he had is now gone, all that remains is some patches of dried blood close to the bottom of a few scales in that area, so I think he had just caught his scales on something... Im now in the process of removing whatever may have caused it(once I figure that out) Thanks again for the reassurance :) |

poor ezio, hope hes alright.
would it be worth trying to put sudocrem on it to see if it works?
i would wait to see if any of the more exprierenced snake owners agree befor you try, as i mite be wrong.
but i dont ave a clue in the problem.
hope he gets well soon |

Well he got a bath, it didnt seem to remove much blood, so I have assumed that the blood is under the scales. On the plus side, he really enjoyed the bath. Ill let you know if I figure it out |

Looks a bit nasty, hope Ezio is okay :)
Goodluck with finding it out, im sure he'll be fine, looks like a tough little bugger ^^ |

Its quite common for a small spot of blood during the shedding process, but that looks like quite a lot. As MC says, you'll be able to see better once you get it washed. |

doesn't look like a burn, looks to me like he's caught the scales on something |

I actually heating up the water to do just that right now :) I was hoping it would make him feel better, Im very afraid that he may be in pain is all, which I really dont want. I dont think its a burn, it really doesnt look like one |

Have you tried gently bathing it to get rid of any blood off of teh outside...you might be able to see where its coming from. |

Okay, I just spend a good bit longer looking at him and it seems some blood has rubbed off lower down him, but the bit in the middle almost looks like a bruise, and the scales are sitting at an angle. Heres some picture, abeit on a poor quality camera, sorry :( Im kinda worried now...

Hi, I've heard it's normal for them to pass a little blood from the vent while shedding, though haven't seen it yet during my royal's shed. Could it be that this happened and the blood got smeared on his middle?
Hopefully there will be someone along soon who is more experienced. All the best. |

Where from? Did you just find blood somewhere? Some times theres a tiny bit of blood on sals shed when shes done...
Can you post a couple of clear pictures? Its really hard to know for sure without pics :-)

Is it in the middle of his body or from his cloaca? |

Is it possible he's caught a scale on something? Can you post a picture? |
