    It's hard to tell what is part of the wound and what is antiseptic. I think a photo without the anitseptic would be more useful.

    Looks like a blister to me...don't pop it, but if they spread (become more numerous &/or get bigger) you might need an experienced herp vet to see him as it
    could be some sort of infection (or some other internal abnormality) needing treatment. Let's hope it resolves on it's own, just keep an eye on it.

    Probably a waste of antiseptic as it doesn't appear to be any break in the skin. But it would be a good idea to be keeping him on white paper towels (with no
    organic substrates) until you know where this is going. Paper towels will help reduce chances of infection, but won't help with humidity.

    I got 4 ball python, 2 keeping in coconut husk without any problem, 1 keep in white paper towel also no problem.. For my banana, he was on paper towel for the last few days, so I change into exo terra soil for the bedding. And within few days I saw those spot on his scale. And the box was alot mist watery inside the box.. And just a mins ago I swap bad to white paper towels and see the results how.. I was guessing that the humidity is too high,
