Went out to soak DT this morning and he had some blood on his mouth. He let me wipe it gently with a wet paper towel. His tongue is a perfect light pink color. I cannot see the source of the blood. I rinsed him he drank and I put him up on Surface to try and get pics. I think his mouth looks ok. Saw what looked like small blood dot underside of his neck but he keeps pulling in & I can’t get a look at it. Called my Reptile vet and no answer. Not sure if they went out of business. Here are a few picks... trying to rule out mouth rot. No stringy stuff in mouth that I could observe. He was eating while I took pics so saw his tongue but didn’t Get good pic of tongue. Is there any solution I should rub around mouth or spot on neck besides water? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My guess was same as Yvonnes. Either he ate something that has blood, or possibly something that poked him and made him bleed a bit.

Thank you @Yvonne and @wellington.
I’m keeping eye on him. Spot on neck washed off in soak. He ate some more. Had a talk with him. Told him not to scare me like that. What in the world would he eat that had blood? The lizards hang out with him a lot. So far so good, no more blood. ??‍♀️
Many thanks.???
