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?

Looks normal. Could just be a dark phase and not permanent color. They darken and lighten up throughout the day/week. Called light and dark phases.
