Is the pinkness normal after a shed?

So my BP justshed and he has a little bit of blood near his exit. Is this normal? ![IMG_20210206_104344|375x500](u

Could you explain why? Normally my snake’s belly turns pink when he is getting ready to shed but after he sheds I do not notice any blood

I’m not entirely sure why it happens, I’m assuming it has to do with how the skin is attached around the cloacal area.

I will specify that I don’t see it every time my snakes shed, but I do see it sometimes. I just know it isn’t harmful or anything to really worry about.

He is also growing a lot right now so maybe that has something to do with it. only 5-6month old
