If it were my snake I would not worry about it unless I saw other problems (not eating, the splotches were turning into sores, etc.) I have also seen many scale problems just shed off and correct themselves (mites obviously would not be one of those however, if thats actually what it is). This is only my personal experience and I am by no means an expert. Good luck with your snake.
