Pete - What temperature is your warm end? She may not be getting as warm as she would like...

maybe its a question of food sizes and regularity, After a feed she should head to the hot end, and after it digests may go to the cooler end to slow the process untill another feed.

Agreed. All my snakes move to one end or the other when they feel like it.

Agreed. I try to keep the cool end as cool as possible. After all a reptile's not going to stay at the cool end if it gets too cool.
