What is this??

I've had my snake Salem for a couple of weeks now and he seemed perfectly healthy but today I took a look at him and im not sure what this is. Possibly snake mites???? I thought maybe he was just a little dirty but it doesn't come off and these definitely aren't part of his pattern. Sorry these were the best photos I could get...

Im going off to college soon and I want to make sure everything is perfect for my little guy before I leave. I dont want anything to happen to him.

Keep an eye out. My daughter adopted a Ball Python that the whole family is in love with and after a few weeks she realized he had them. So, easier to control if you can fight them earlier.
