The last couple of days I've noticed my boa has 2 white spots on him. I touch them and they don't seem painful. As he's quite alright for me to.



Any ideas please. I hope it's not bad.

I'd leave it be. The scale under it looks pale so I would guess he's damaged it somehow. Maybe it's some form of scab over the damage.

See what he's like after a shed. I'm sure it'll get better on it's own.
Just me and my zoo.
