I have recently adopted a 6 year old Albino Red Tail Boa. The other night I noticed she had many small lumps running along both of her sides. Her skin felt loose and the lumps could be easily moved. Has anyone encountered something like this before? I need some ideas as what it could be or if she should see a vet.

I may be mistaken, but I vaguely recall reading about some sort of parasite that manifests as lumps like that, but again, I VAGUELY remember something of the sort and could be mistaken.

Your best bet is to find a good reptile vet and bring her in.
 
I recall something about parasite as well but I cannot remember anything else at the moment. Also, a lot of times 'squishy' bumps are tumors which RTBs can get.

I'd say a vet is the way to go, good luck!
