I realise that these tmps are a little off ideal but when the probes are on top of the substrate the temps are perfect....73f cool end and 93f hot end. She doesnt burrow much so the temps on top of the substrate I believe are ok ?????
I handle her about 20mins most days but not after feeding for at least 48h. I have only handled her once since she stopped feeding.
Behaviour during the day is normal in that she stays away in her hides but its the evenings and night where she is so active and constantly looking for a way out
Is your heat mat on a Thermostat? If not unplug it before your snake gets burned and go get one right away. 100 degrees is too hot. Check the glass right above the heat mat with a IFR temp gun (more accurate then the thermometer probe)
