I'm sorry to hear about the concerning symptoms your reptile is experiencing. The issues you're describing, such as bloody stool, drooping eyes, and a blackening tail, can be indicative of serious health problems. Let's discuss what these symptoms might mean and what steps you should take.

Firstly, the presence of bloody stool could suggest internal parasites, infections, or other gastrointestinal issues. It's crucial to have a veterinarian perform a fecal examination to identify any underlying parasites or infections.

Regarding the drooping eyes, this symptom might be a sign of dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, or a more systemic illness. It's important to ensure your reptile is well-hydrated and receiving a balanced diet to support their health.

As for the tail turning black, this could be indicative of tail rot, which is often caused by poor circulation, infection, or injury. This condition requires prompt veterinary attention to prevent further complications.

Given the seriousness of these symptoms, I strongly recommend that you take your reptile to a veterinarian as soon as possible. They will be able to conduct a thorough examination and provide the necessary treatment to address these issues.

If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to ask. Thank you for reaching out.
