Breeding carpet pythons behaviours help

[Demisnakes]

Hi I put my two carpet pythons together one male and one female. The female began wagging her tail for the first time immediately and after a while I saw what looked like dried blood on the newspaper. I removed the male but couldn't find any blood on either snakes. I cleaned out the enclosure then i found some more dried blood after a couple hours again cant find any blood on my female? What is it and anyone else seen it before?

unclear on the blood, but the female tail wagging is something i've seen w my carpets. did you see them lock up at all?
