Hognose blood in urate :(

After she pooped in her usual poopie bowl, I noticed a small bit of blood that she wiped on the side. Is this normal or should I be worried?

I don't think it's normal. maybe you can take a poop sample for analysis if it happens again, and consider a visit to the vet. Good luck!

Does it seem healthy? Are you sure its blood? Sometimes with frozen thawed mice they'll bleed out the nose and get some blood on stuff. Take the waterbowl out and take the picture out of the cage because to me it just looks like a little bit of red on the wood shaving, and depending on the shaving type it might just be that.

She is active and feeds normally (she just ate a good size hopper today) so she does seem heathy. I'm not sure if it's blood.. but I do know it came out of her butt cause I saw her poop. And it's not on the shavings it's that little drop of stuff on the outside of the bowl (right side).

I asked the reptile breeder in the shop today and he said if it happens again I better take her to the vet.
