Had this boa for a few months. She just inverted her self and I noticed these red dot's all along her belly. Anyone know what this could be... Thanks

it is normal from what i can tell. the same thing happened with my retail and i called a local breeder to ask him. he said that it just means that it is getting ready to go into shed. that is what yours looks like but dont take my statement as gospel. there are some ailments or whatnot that could possibly look quite identical soomething like that. use your own judement and advice from other herps on the forum and decide for yourself whether or not to take it to a vet. but from what i can see of the pic it is just going into shed. it should start clouding over in the next day or 2 if it hasnt already.

Small red dots can be a sign of a R.I. Also red dots on the inside of the snakes mouth can be a sign of a R.I.
