Its new, let her get used to it. As already stated, options are aspen, newspaper, papertowels.

Give her a few days to get used to the aspen. Did you say she's on top of the log? Would that be one of those half log hides they sell at Petsmart?

the half log hides are only good for corn snakes, and many other colubrinds. But they suck for ball pythons and boas.
you can go buy bowls from dollar store that will be just big enough for the bp to fit in. Cut hole on side for snake to get in. Its cheap when needing to upgrade and youll have them for other snakes in future.

That might be part of the reason she's burrowing. Those half log hides are the worst hide you could possibly get for a BP. Way too open for them to feel secure.
Like flameethrower said, cut a hole in a bowl or even an empty cereal box, and you'll have a much better hide for your girl.

I even think the half logs are horrible for colubrids...
My almost full grown corn fits perfectly in the medium exo terra cave.

Worst bedding ever to use for snakes. houses bacteria and causes respiratory infection in snakes like no other. switch to something else ASAP.
Thanks, I didn't know what that stuff was at all, but now do ;)
