I dont think that is blood. Blood in stool isnt blood colored, and if it is, its only during the first few minutes of being pooped. So it might just be something red. What is your feeders and gut load?

Is it possible that it is just a very dehydrated urate?

Poop technology
Starts off white urate and transitions to brown fecal
yours starts off white, does the transition to orange(this is where dehydrate comes in, if its alot of orange then its dehydrated)

I dont see orange urate

and after the first 1/3 of the poo, the urate is covering the fecal. So you could break that section open(fun i know) and see how the fecal is.

As for blood in stool...
If its fresh blood from pushing, its going to be red, then turn brown/black in a few minutes
If its much farther up the line, its going to be black jelly coming out

Its not like the movies, blood only stays red for a limited amount of time, then it deoxes and turns black. At best red blood may stain a piece of paper, but its still going to get real dark and brown.

But undigested red/orange gut load, or certain roaches, can dye poo red, and it stays red.
