    Your ambient temperature is probably too low. She isn't lazy, and she doesn't love that rock - she's cold and trying to warm up. Heat rocks are dangerous in their own right - Are you regulating or monitoring it's temp in any way?

    What she said. The reason she's always curled around the rock is that she's cold. The skin in contact with the rock is warm, but the other 90% of her body is cold. This is how massive burns happen.

    You shouldn't be using a heat rock. Their temps can't be controlled & could seriously injure your snake.
