If a snake is always burrowing under the substrate, one thing that could mean is that it is seeking out whatever temp is down there (it could also mean it is seeking moisture, or a good hiding spot). If it is always pressed against a wall, maybe the temp of the wall has something to do with the behavior. And so on.

During the day he is always on the back left in his hide on the cool side. once the lights go off i see him go to the warm side right under the DHP for a little then crawls around his hide
