I've heard of this before. Isn't it something to do with the hemipenes?
Peanuts might be a boy  |

| I was always told that its a little dried blood from the removal of the skin from the more 'delicate' area. Its happened once before with Dusk and causes no harm. |

Just had the same thing with Matilda. Gotta admit it does look like a tiny bit of dried blood. She seems ok though. I wouldn't worry too much.

| It's kinda like that Paul but there are two little blood spikes exactly the same width and length. They are on the outside of the shed so must have been on the inside of peanuts. The spikes are at 90 degrees to the shed and stand up on their own. It's almost like they were little stoppers in her hemipenes (even thought she was probed female twise) the vent on the shed is completely closed and complete on the shed and there's no blood smeres around the edges or anywhere else on the shed. Thanks for all your help guys. |

| in point of fact, snakes do have the remnants of legs that they used to have in the past but on most snakes they are barely noticable, as such I doubt that they would show on a shed.. |
