Skin temperature on your hands varies from 90-94F. If something feels 'hot' to you-then it is definitely far too warm for a ball python.
That pink coloration seems pretty even on the underbelly: it usually indicates that the snake is approaching a shed cycle. I would expect a burn to be on the top or side of the snake from the CHE pointing down. Underbelly burns are usually clustered in patches.
