What’s your heat source? And is it regulated?

Looks to me (also) like it could be a thermal "burn" from heat source that is either not regulated or not regulated properly. Burns are painful & can do serious harm to your snake...please double-check your husbandry
right away for his safety.

Re: weird red marks
What are you using for a heat source, how is it regulated and where are you taking your temperatures from?

It could be early signs of shed. It typically comes in more uniform, so the whole belly goes pink. But I have seen my snakes with little blotches like that and within a day or two they were all pink and starting a shed.

Ok, just thought I'd mention it since it hadn't been yet. But we can rule that out now.
