Pet Snake Questions Can somebody help, idk what this is
So my snake (BCI) (8 months old) got these grey purple- ish spots recently and idk if this came from too much rubbing. His humidity is at like 75-80% and I don’t feed life mice. Is this treatable, do I need to go to the vet or does it like go away with time?

A boa, no need to be scared, my best guess is red tail boa

I know that this is a boa. My concern is her grey spot on her head.

That's a healing/healed scar, it looks to be healing very well. Nothing to worry about, and shockingly enough injuries like scratches and wound on top of boas heads are pretty common.
