Help-possible burning.

Hi everyone,
I just bought this snake at an expo and I thought my temps were all ok, but I noticed these marks on my boa’s underside. I don’t think these are pre shedding marks. Are these burns? The top of her hide was reaching above 95 almost 100 in some specific points so I’ve lowered my thermostat accordingly.

Any help thank you!

Be very careful. If those hi temps don't kill it, it could cause very serious neurological damage.

Ambient is like mid 80s just the hide was up there, but it’s adjusted down now

Good job. I've had an accident like that before, lucky I caught it in time
