I'm not seeing an issue with "spots on the tail" either, but I am concerned about the care your teacher is providing for this snake. As already requested, more information about the enclosure would help us to help you. Are you saying this snake's home has NO heat?Or just no way of controlling what there is? I'm more concerned for this snake's well-being for the issues of proper warmth and being fed live rats- I hope you'll invite your teacher to join us here so they can learn better methods of keeping a ball python.
