Bugged me too but yeah, it's just for the looks. Don't question it too much from a realism stand point. Lava Lizards, among a ton of cool creatures in this games are of course fictitious and poses biological and physical problems when looking at them scientifically.

But if you absolutly 'had' to make it work, I guess a theory could be that this is not acually molten lava, but rather an unknown substance with an extremely low melting point (below 70c), which happens to glow orange-ish when heated. That wouln't break the experience for me, in fact it would make a little more sens and my mind wouldn't be bugged on poinltess sci-fy questions while I play the game.
