It could be a case of snake mites, mate. Do the spots move? Put him in tepid water with a drop or two of liquid soap and let him soak for awhile. You'll have to completely clean his enclosure if he's got mites. I could go on, but I don't know if they're mites, so I won't.

I have seen many LTR with red scales on them, some have them and some don't. I have one with like 10 red scales on him, they aren't mites in my snakes case, I have never seen one with them "all over", I'd like to see a pic of that please.
