Here's a very interesting page on Ball pythons, I noticed at the bottom of it a Q|A section, you might be able to ask about your problem there.

Like the before answer, I'm guessing it's mites also. I've caught a lot of snakes outdoors, and I've seen bumps under the skin several times, especially in humid or swampy environments. You should go to www.practical-pet-care.com and use the "ask an expert" page, the experts are very helpful!
