Dumeril's boa losing scales, no mites.

I had this 2yo Dumeril's boa for a few weeks. She is very affectionate, and loves spending time wrapped around my husband's neck. What worries me is that I can see many scales on his neck, chest and back afterwards. She is perfectly healthy, doesn't have any mites, is strong and active, eats well.
I tried to find info in forums, but all I could find was about loss of scales due to mites, which is not the case here. There are no visibly missing scales on her, no bald patches, yet I can see at least a hundred scales stuck to my husband's skin.
The scales that our boa is losing are both transparent and dark in color.
Please help. Thank you in anticipation.
