what kind of substrate is she on to transfer the color like that? I wouldn't use it ever again. Use newspaper or paper towel, and as I said, get her to a vet ASAP...
if you don't know of one in your area go to

I had a bedding that made my BP scales like that.It was wood chips forgot what kind.But it also could be scale rott!
It's definitely either scale rot or more likely a bad burn. Take that snake to a vet, and apply Polysporin to it's underbelly religiously. That's definitley not from any substrate, looks terribly painful though.
