    Something wrong with my female?

    Bought my female norm royal Python about 4 weeks ago, she's about 1.3kg and housed in a 4ft x 1.5 ft x 1.5ft Viv with aspen shavings hides logs etc, heat mat on a thermostat etc with a hotspot temp of 91°F, so recently I noticed she's always on the cool side and today found her just lay in her water bowl, when I took her out I noticed this, can anyone help me plz what is it?

    Assuming that the black on her belly is her normal coloring, it looks like she's going into shed. What is the humidity in her tank? If it's too low she will soak.

    Are those red dots scabs? If so I'd check for mites
