    Black Dots on Boa

    Hey guys I noticed that my red tail boa has black dots on his head. I put new bedding in his cage last week which spiked the humidity for a couple of days. Could this be the problem or is it more health related.

    Thanks for the info, you’re right I’ve seen it come and go with him usually around the time of an upcoming shed
