it could be due to various things......what sort of amount of blood? what substrate are they on? what have you witnessed the snakes doing so far?

as there's a risk of the male's hemipenes snagging a piece of aspen as he draws it back in we personally put our breeders on paper (i like paper anyway but the OH prefers aspen so aspen it is!) with the female, as she pops her vent open for the male there's also a risk of introducing aspen so i'd check the cloacal area of both of them
if we're just talking about a few spots of blood and you've checked them both over and there's nothing obvious i'd just put it down to breeding behaviour
