Burrowing

I have a preloved 10 year old corn snake. The weather is getting colder and although he has 2 hides recently I put his favourite one on the warm side and popped his smaller one on the cold side The warm side is at 29C but recently he's been digging and burrowing in the substrate on the cold side far much more. I've popped his favourite hide back on the cold side and swapped the least favourite back to the warm side but I'm a bit stumped. I've had him just a few months but he's not done this before now. I mean he's burrowed but not stayed under the substrate. My house IS super cold and before I had him his old owner never used a thermostat on his heat mat. I'm wondering if he needs his heat bumped up a touch more. I'm scared he's trying to hibernate. I have no intention of breeding him
