I use Reptile Basic large hides for Vicky who is 3' and they work great except she likes to sit on top of them more than in them lol. It looks like though the snake is trying to get close as possible to the heat source so maybe your temps are too cool. I know Rosey as a baby and Vicky who is a yearling now both prefer it on the warmer side where as Rosey now who is 6' likes it cooler now. I keep all my snakes with a 92F hot spot and a 80-82F cool side. They bounce back and forth throughout the day and usually camp on the warm side for a day just after eating. Also get a temp gun and don't use dial thermometers as those are notorious for being inaccurate. I use the Acurite digital humidty/temp gauges and a temp gun to dial in the hot side with my Herpstats 1 and 2.
Thank you for your response i have ordered a temp gun and it hasnt arrived yet so for now the digital thermometer is all i have 😩 she has a warm hide that is heated by a uth(thermostat on it to 93F) but she never likes to go in it shes always on the branch lol
