So this morning Kinkers was peeking out of her hide so I said hi n bye before I left for work. Well I guess she didn't like that I could see her. Sooooo she moved her hide 90 degrees and my s/o sent me a pic.

Has anyone else's snake do this?

My tessera girl moves her toilet paper tube hide to fit snugly across the entrance of her log hide. Every day, I move it back onto her heating pad. Every day, she somehow pulls it across the entrance of her log. I don't know how animals without limbs can do this kind of thing...
 
I had one snake who would put her paper towel roll crosswise on top of her water bowl, without getting it wet!
 
My little anery re arranges the furniture in her viv all the time, she likes to move her toilet paper tube in front of her little boxes.. I guess they like interior decoration....
 
Oh my gosh don't get me started lol. I got some snakes that are way into that feng shui stuff apparently. My little dumerils boa is the best at it though, she stands her box up on its end after moving it to the opposite wall of her tub.
 
LOL! How enjoyable to hear what these little tricksters do! For my ball python, I cut a hole in the edge of a plastic salad bowl and inverted two of those for her hides: one on the warm side, one on the cool side. Sometimes she likes where I've positioned them and will travel between them, but mostly she picks one and travels around under it like a turtle and goes from spot to spot as the temps suit her.
 
We have igloos in with a few of our bigger snakes. As the igloos are very light, they are very easy for the snakes to move around. One of our girls regularly flips her igloo over though, and hides under it buried in litter.

Far more common is shifting litter to block the doorway to the igloo entrances.

And one of our newest snakes (a blizzard hatchling) seems to enjoy playing with her toilet paper roll. She will crawl over it, move it back and forth...she has a good time with it for certain :)
 
Stig mostly throws his humidity meter around. I just have it stuck on his humid hide, so he'll wrap his tail around it and pop the suction cup off. Then he throws it into the wall of his cage or drag it somewhere in his cage.
 
We call Sienna our interior designer. She is constantly rearranging her "furniture." One day, she flipped her plastic hide bowl over and into her water bowl. My other two do it too, but not as much.
 
Wadjet moves her tube around-she seems to like it propped up on her other hides, so it's sloped (maybe it's more fun to use as a jungle gym that way?).

She also tends to nudge her hides around so she CAN watch what we're doing. It's kind of funny, because she'll rest in her hide, often buried in the aspen below it, with just her head peeking out. I can't tell if that means she doesn't trust us, or if she finds humans interesting.

my female snow would flip her water bowl every day i had to change it because in 1 week she used up all my bedding flipping the water bowl
 
i honestly think it was because she could
her temps were right and with corns the humidity is not realy a big deal as long as you dont live in the deasert and they have complete sheds so it wasn't that
 
yeah my coral snow used to be in a gasket box whitch has no edges realy he would wedge himself in the lid with pure determination and muscle
