Curious Behavior

Sometimes you can improve such 'hides' by crumpling a paper towel or two & stuff them in. Keep in mind snakes prefer hides with doorways just big enough
to fit thru (with a meal) & that some commercially-available hides have lovely dramatic 'doorways' that snakes hate. They make them so people can see their
pets, but snakes feel stressed & vulnerable...same goes for those open-ended tree bark tunnels...they're fine as "cage furniture" but not actually as hides. I
like to use them sometimes in front of their actual hides...like the protected canopy in front of a fine hotel, -they work fine that way. It's all about privacy.

Snakes don't like high ceilings either. Just think of a home decor magazine, & do the opposite for a snake, lol...

Yes, Bogertrophis is absolutely right and gave me the same advice a week ago, and it worked! As soon as I stuffed some crumbled paper towels into the hides, my snake started using them. By the way, here is my little girl doing the same thing as your snake. I ended up removing the styrofoam decorative background and it looks better without it. And, the background makes a perfectly fitted cover for the top of the enclosure to allow for some airflow while blocking drafts and keeping in some humidity.





And this is her tail sticking out of her hide after I put some paper towels in there to lower the ceiling and make the doorway smaller
