my male pastel has just this moment shed so once he had finshed let him relax for a moment i got him out and the shed to check all was well. and thats when the problem started i pulled out the shed first check for tail tip eye caps then noticed blood on the vent. now i have noticed this before but i think this time there was more blood and about 6-9drops on the tissue under his hide.

should i worry about this or not.
i have checked his vent and its all clean no signs of a wound or sores.

I read somewhere that they can sometimes do this when they shed...

Piers will probably know more than me....

i have not had this yet with mine...

As Matty and Anne say, as long as it has stopped now, its quite normal. Just check on it for the next couple of days.

cheers for the reasurance. just a little bit more detail his vent scale has always looked as if it is to big for him is this normal and will he grow into it? it causes him no discomfort
