Bleeding bluey
Hi, I have a northern blue tongue and he is in the middle of shedding. I noticed 20 minutes ago that the tip of his little nose was bleeding between his scales. I don’t see any scratch marks and now that I took him out I don’t notice any more blood. Should I just ignore it? Is it normal for bts to bleed when they shed? I added a picture and highlighted the area where the blood was.

Re: Bleeding bluey
No, they do not bleed when they shed but could have injured itself while trying to rub some stuck shed off. A little peroxide on a q-tip to prevent any infection. Quite common, especially for seasonal males who are constantly rubbing on the glass and pacing around.
