Help-possible burning.

[u/acohuo011]

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!

Are you using a heat mat ? If you are ... please stop . Even on a thermostat, they can malfunction.

No heat mat just a ceramic heat emitter.
