Does it look like a minor burn? If so I can guess what it could be from, when I took Athena to the vet the other day for her yearly checkup, I made makeshift "heat pads". I put wet, hot cloths into a ziplock bag. Then put it under a towel in her bin that I use for transportation. It was pretty warm, but warm enough to burn her??

Does the color stay or disappear when you press on it?

It kinda does. What you described could have done it. When you add water to heat the heat shoots through the moist item extremely well.

I just pressed, doesn't seem to lighten. But the red is very pale.

I don't think you have anything to worry about but I would not use that method for heat during transport again.

I don't know how to identify septcemia either

That's all I can think about and worry about... I love her more than anything.

You don't think it's septcemia ?

With no other signs of an infection or issue I seriously doubt it. If she has been eating, shedding, and having regular movements I don't see any reason to worry.

Im curious what your vet did for a yearly check up. I don't remember ever seeing anybody taking their snakes for a yearly check up.
