I got home late today and noticed that Titan (2 year old) wasn't basking. I didn't think anything of it though, he's kind of weird. Anyway I go to feed him and the first bite I notice some blood come out of his mouth. (about a couple drops.) He finished his meal though and after a lot of coaxing I got him to open his mouth. (He's a stubborn little turd.) There seemed to be blood near the back of his mouth, and the roof was a slight yellowish color. His gums don't seem too bad but they do have a slight yellowish color to them. Since my vet won't be open until morning I have to wait it out.
I decided to set him up in my un-used tank. Its nice and clean with some towels for him to sit on. Since there's nothing I can do until I call the vet in the morning I decide to try to get some sleep. When I look back at the tank I notice another spot of blood, this one being a little bigger. I'm starting to get worried and am wondering if there's anything I can do while I wait to call the vet.
Besides the blood he doesn't seem too out of the ordinary. I have him out and he's trying to climb my shirt and run around but I'm still very worried. Any help would be very much appreciated!!

Oh! I forgot to add his setup. He's in a 55 gallon aquarium with tile bedding, a uvb built, heat lamp ~105-110°, and two logs to climb on

I agree with you that he should be checked out by the vet. Is the bleeding isolated to his mouth? Perhaps he ate something sharp which caused a cut. Hopefully it's just a minor mouth cut and not something more serious.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
