Re: snake bleeding
Was the blood coming from her vent? What substrate is she on and when did you last feed her?

Re: snake bleeding
Hmmm. When was the last time she passed a stool? She might be impacted, in which case a vet visit would be necessary.

Re: snake bleeding
Her vent shouldn't open when you pick her up. It should remain firmly closed. The only times the vent should open is when the snake is urinating/defecating or when the snake is musking in defense. I would keep an eye on it and if you see bleeding again get her to a good herp vet.

Re: snake bleeding
Did she just shed?
Vents sometimes open up when an animal is being held as a defensive posture to squirt you with urine. Sometimes they get you wet, sometimes they don't. It's fairly common.

Re: snake bleeding
ok, well then the open vent is probably a defense, preparation for musking you. Keep an eye out for any more blood or abnormal discharge
