Ohhh! Okay that makes a lot of sense. I lower the temp a little bit on her cool side and see if that helps a little bit.
Her hide on her warm side isn't big at all, just enough so that she can get in it comfortably. So it's probably a heat issue!
Thanks for the insight!
Yes, she is a very adorable noodle haha.
Yep I am new! Actually made this account a little while ago but just recently got approved.

What are the highest & lowest temperatures in her enclosure? Hopefully your heat is controlled by thermostat? How are you taking readings & what is the humidity?
Snakes also don't like bright lights, so that's another possible reason for a snake to burrow under things.

The lowest temperature in her tank is currently 78 degrees fahrenheit and her highest temp is 90 degrees fahrenheit. I do controlled by thermostat and her heating pad (I know you aren't supposed to use lamps with ball pythons) and her humidity currently is 57%. I take readings every day and write them down, I have a digital thermometer and a digital humidity gauge to take it from.
Yeah unfortunately my room light is pretty bright so I was thinking of putting a towel on the back and one side of the tank to dim it for her, although my light is off most of the time when I'm at work or just not in it in general. She was doing this in the middle of the night too, so I really think it just comes down to temperatures and her wanting to cool down a bit or just wanting to hide.

Very good! Does she have a hide on the cool side too?

Yep! She honestly doesn't use it that much compared to her warm hide, but she will still go in it from time to time.

Sounds to me like your snake just likes the tight safety of being under the water dish.
They like it snug.
I actually switched most of my hides out and use large plastic dog dishes that are hollow underneath. All my snakes (except my tiny little hognose) use them as hides now.
They also help add humidity to the enclosures

Yeah seems like she just likes it under there! Well as long as she's not stuck then its perfectly fine.
