Re: How do I stop my Burm peeing in her warm hide and laying in it?

I'll give it a good cleaning about once a month but otherwise, it just gets wiped down with a wet paper towel when I do normal/poop maintenance. Over cleaning and completely eliminating your snake's scent might be causing her to over hydrate so she can keep it coming. Maybe rubbing a little of the dirty substrate to the roof of her hide will give her enough security that she doesn't feel the need to sit in it too. Try to find your own balance. She might grow out of it as she matures and gets more confident in her surroundings, she might not.
