That doesnt sound normal, but, if he eats in the tank, he could have eaten a piece of substrate and had trouble passing it cause him to bleen a bit. If it continues, I would get a vet check.

yeah I will keep an eye on him he seems fine still his chirpy self but if there blood is red then passing blood is never a good thing so any other problems I will see a vet I need to find one which deals with reptiles

Thanks venus

I don't know where your buddy got his information but blood is red.
Unless your dragon is an alien from another planet!
Did the red come out as a liquid or was it a flash of red and then went back inside the body?

Was it solid? Have you been feeding anything that was red in color (peppers etc)?

Hey, at one point I was convinced my water dragons were from another planet....but thats a topic for another time. Blood in the poop is not normal, as the others said if it continues a vet trip should be planned

blue blood? I don't think so. Last I checked once blood hits O2 its red, cold or warm blooded.

Keep an eye on him. watch his next poop. If it continues get him to a vet ASAP
