    No, one of my CA boas used to do that too all the time. I never had any issues with belly rot, or any other sickness. I wouldn't worry about it. Now if she is spilling her water on the substrate, and laying on that, yes, that could cause belly rot. Just make sure her substrate is clean and dry.
