    what are the humidity levels?
    im pretty sure if you stay below 75-80% you should be fine, and you dont wanna drop below 45-50%. in my expierience ( very little actually but ill try to help anyways) my red heat lamp sucks the humidity out of my tank and keeps it at a steady 50-55%.
    hope this helps.

    How do you have your ball python set up? .... What kind of humidity guage do you have? .... I've never heard of anyone having a problem with humidity being "too high" in Maryland in the winter.

    You either have a bad guage or not enough air flow into the cage.

    What kind of substrate? You could go to plain newspaper if not, and put more holes in the sides to let out humidity since sometimes even a simple water bowl can put humidity way up.
    Are the red spots like scabs, or burns?

    Btw, how big are the red spots? If they're really tiny and they move, they're probably mites.

    Are they on the scales, or in between? In-between could be ticks. But they are more brownish to orangish in my experience.
