As far as where her head is when she coils, you'll find her laying in different positions sometimes. As to why she did it, who knows. She's a snake, doing snakey things.

Mine don't normally do anything in their water dish. I never see them drink, never see them soak. I wouldn't worry about her not going near her water dish.

At 270g she was almost assuredly born in July 2013, not 2012.

If you're hotspot is 85 to 88 you may want to bump that up a couple of degrees. 88 to 90 seems to be a good range.

You can make the hides out of almost anything. It's just something they need to be able to crawl into to hide. There's a thread somehwhere on this site of things people use to make their own hides. Litter boxes, flower pots, plastic thingies, etc. If you don't want to make your own, you can buy them...something like: http://www.reptilebasics.com/hide-boxes

Oh yea, sorry I missed a part you asked what I'm using to measure. I have a "All Living Things (ALT)" Thermo/Hydro prob and an additional normal temp prob that way I have three probs, one on hot one on cool and the hydro is right in the middle of the tub. I know ALT is not the best brand, but I needed one in a pinch and it seems to be accurate. I have a cheapo hydro/temp in my bearded's cage (just because it was laying around unused) and the ALT seems to be more predictable.
