Polar Bear Boa

So my new little BCI Columbian is fine but I have a little concern with her.

I know Boa temps should be around 90~ warm side and 78-80 cool side and my temps are in that area.

She, for some reason likes to hang out at the top of her enclosure on top of her plants. Now knowing Boas this doesn't surprise me. What does concern me is that the temp at the top where she hangs out is only 72-75~ and I know Boas shouldn't be below 75~. I'm concerned that if she keeps doing this that she may get a RI.

I keep the temp probes on top of the aspen on the warm and cool side to get accurate surface temps. She has a hide on the warm side and the cool side plus plants to hide in. I've checked the temps with a temp gun and they are all accurate.

Is this normal for a Boa to stay in an area of low 70s ?

Don't mind the temp reading on the thermometers, they 5deg low because I had the lid off.
