I was hearing an odd sound coming from the tank today and I looked over and saw him opening his mouth all the way a few times. He looked like he was retching but nothing was coming out. When I went over I noticed two small drops of very light colored blood on the tank glass in front of him. I'm not sure if it came from his nose or mouth. He has been acting normal as well as eating and pooping fine. Only thing different is he just shed yesterday and ate his skin like usual. Anyone know if this is something to make an appointment to the vet for?
