Okay.. I have no idea how to explain this so I'm just going to upload some pictures. I put them on my own server because they're very large and I didn't want to eat up the forum's bandwidth (3072 × 2304 px and 1.5mb each).
I noticed this yesterday. It doesn't look nearly as bad in person as it does in these pictures, they're really not huge and protruding as these pictures suggest.. but they're there, and they have my wife and I kind of freaked out. I've looked around but I haven't been able to find anything like it. Does anyone have any idea what these might be? They're just in random places, mostly around the head and kind of behind/under his right front leg. They're not moving or anything so I don't think they're mites, but I may be wrong. He's as active as he's ever been and eats/poops regularly, seems to be very healthy.. The only thing he does pertaining to these things is scratch near the area with is rear leg, sort of like a dog. But even that happens very rarely, I've seen it twice since I noticed these things. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Here are the pictures

Sorry again that the pictures are so large, I tried resizing them but you couldn't see what I'm talking about very well. Just click on the pictures to zoom to full size once they load.
