Kind of look like scares or she getting ready to shed.

They Arnt always in the same spots so purdy sure not scars ther kinda like lines from folds her skins tight and she seems to have good weight just kinda curious if she's over weight and ther from fat rolls or somthing. Just never realy seen them before none of my other snakes have them. I haven't had her long I don't think I missed her blue but I could have. She sits in her hides a lot so im thinking they may be from being coiled up for long periods ofcourse not positive.

That could be just from sitting that way really long time. At least i would thing it's possible.

Thats normal, it is from sitting in a spot for a really long time. You may want to spray her down every now and then.

My boa has always had them to...more noticeable after a shed. I always thought it was to allow their skin to stretch as they grow in between sheds.
