    I don't think so? I have a boa with similar spots. What is the morph of your boa? Looks kinda like a salmon to me, just like me. Id say it just looks like normal patterning to me.

    I'm no expert but it looks perfectly normal to me.

    Beautiful snake by the way!! He looks great - very squared off appearance. Must be getting fed correctly.

    It's normal. They can get more pronounced as the snake gets older. Here is Rosey who is 5 years old and she has lots of that white/pink down her sides. Kind of hard to see here but if you look where the bend is, you can see some of it.
