do you got a hide on the warm and cold side off her cage?
when she thinks temperature is best under there she will get under there make shure you get enough hides on diferent places.

Nope... It actually happens quite a bit. If you don't like it, try getting a heavier water bowl that sits directly on the bottom of the enclosure (to prevent accidental crushing). Also provide more hides and possibly "better" hides where the snake will feel as comfortable as it does "under the water bowl".
However, there's really nothing wrong with it being under the water bowl as long as it can't get accidentally crushed.

I get some of mine water bowls with a cut-out just for them to hide in.
I have something similiar for Gunn that's in the middle of his tank that he tends to prefer unless he's thinking about shedding and then he's into his moss hide that he has 24/7.
Kieran went through a stage when he went under his waterbowl too... it's a heavy sucker but his Aspen was heavy enough that he could tunnel under it. It's hard for 5'5" of snake to hide under a bowl, but he thought he was... I didn't point out that 2/3rds of him was sticking out the back of it.

As long as she has access to a warm side, it's up to her which side she wants on... what is cool to us, is not so cool to them, so your sense isn't something to depend on.

Unless we are talking about heat... lukewarm to us is much warmer to them... there is concern if you touch say glass and it feels very warm or hot tot he touch.

Completely normal. All my yearlings and hatchlings actually seem to prefer their water dish unless their digesting.

I wreck it, or flatten it out, on purpose. Gives them something to do for a couple days! :idea:

My new corn is doing this too, I ve seen it at work and I wasn't concerned, what is puzzling me however, after the feed on Monday, its hiding under the dish again and hasn't pooped yet, it hid on the warm side last feeding. Mind you being in the room locked up downstairs until Christmas, it may feel the vibrations of us coming down the stairs and high tail it under there. Temp on the warm side 86* BTW.
