Bloood in enclosure...
I peeked into my garter enclosure this morning and saw dried blood all over the back of the enclosure. I checked on every snake, each was there, and there were absolutely no signs of physical damage. What happened?!

Re: Bloood in enclosure...
How many blood are you talking about?
Maybe itīs caused by an accident of mating that occurs sometimes. breeding success? |

Re: Bloood in enclosure...
If it was discharged, why?
And it's not feces for sure. It's definitely red. It seems like there's a lot of it. Also, this happened once a few weeks ago right after feeding time, but with less blood. |

Re: Bloood in enclosure...

edit: This is what it looks like, 5 days after they were fed farmed rainbow trout. Should be about 2-3 days old. ![]() Blood would be rusty brown at this point.
