Now onto Dasher a nervous, easyly spoked male (less so now he so large). He shows the same signs as Nasher every now and then BUT the big differane is he threatens me very often, normally when he close to the glass and i suddlenly appear in his view. When very close i can see blood leaking out of the middle of his bottom jaw. This clearly is a "high level" threat/warning directed at me. I'm guessing it's a mix of venom/blood/syliva. On some instances it drips from his jaw but most commonly it's only small amounts which disapear as soon as he licks his lips unlike the tooth change type which is still clearly there when he licks his lips.
thats my take on it though i'd love a scentist to check if it is infact a form of venom or merely just blood

Hi, it`s perfectly normal, as you will probably already be aware, the teeth are set into the fleshy gums to a degree, and when they bite their prey they can bleed slightly.
