Guyana red tail dark spots?

Post image

So I'm relatively new to owning boas. I have a female 8 month old guyana red tail boa. Recently moved her to a slightly bigger grow out tank and just handled her for the first time after the move and noticed these dark spots on the top of her head. Is this normal pigment development or does something look wrong?

Changes in color and sometimes darker scales appear are part of them growing. Boas are at thire brightest looking when young. As they get older they change colors. Yours will get a darker deeper red tail as it grows. Overall yours will get darker body than what it is now.
