Re: What are these marks?
They do kind of look like bruises but, just to be safe what is your humidity in the QT enclosure?
What kind of heating are you using and does it have a thermostat?
Is there anything in the enclosure she could have got stuck in? I'm wondering what kind of hide and the opening size really.

Re: What are these marks?
Nothing in the enclosure she could have got stuck in, though she does like to ball herself in the corner between the water dish and the wall sometimes. She either sleeps there or in her hide.
I use an overhead ceramic, not ideal, but it’s what I had available for my quarantine.
Humidity is a bit low at 50%
She is fairly active at night.

Re: What are these marks?
There is a guard and a thermostat on the ceramic yes?
If there is I'd keep the enclosure clean then monitor till the next shed. If it starts to look a lot worse or there are any signs of blistering or swelling I'd be looking into a visit with an experienced herp vet.

Re: What are these marks?
The ceramic had been unguarded for a time, but that's been remedied.
Could these be thermal burns?

Re: What are these marks?
Hi,
It is possible - but if they are they will generally develop a colour change, swelling and possible blistering. Close monitoring will be needed either way. I'd take the precaution of having some money set aside so, if required, you can get the vet appointment as quickly as possible.
With luck it will be extremely mild and correct itself with the next shed ( which will be soon as shedding is part of their healing process ).

The "white discoloration" is very strange, but the tiny red dots appear to be petechiae (tiny bleeders under the skin) and I notice those scales where they occur
also appear to have been folded back...as if your snake squished himself thru something that caused this minor damage. But petechiae can have various causes
& I'm at a loss for the "white spots" so as dr del suggested, keep an eye on this, make sure there's nothing she can continue to be injured on (whether by heat or
other means) & hopefully this will heal on it's own with no further issue.

What are these marks?
Gotcha. She certainly doesn’t appear affected by them. She ate, she’s still active and curious.
I guess what I’m most concerned about is a communicable disease. She is in quarantine, but I still worry...
Thank you for the replies. I appreciate your taking the time

Re: What are these marks?
UPDATE
She finally shed - a beautiful, single skin shed.
The bruising/wounds seem to be much improved, but the white spots are brighter. Which you can see in the photos.
Any further insight?
