Answer 2

this is totally normal, ive had an albino corn snake for 8 years. I'm no expert but mine does this alot too, if it hasn't shed recently this might be why. but its nothing to worry about. snakes like to burrow, its there natural instinct, because usually you can see snake holes in the ground outside.

Answer 3

That is totally normal. I have my second corn now and both have done it. What you might try doing, depending on her size, is get a toilet paper tube and put it in the hide. It's just the cardboard when the paper is gone. When I got my new snake I got slightly bigger hides and just stuck those in them. He almost always goes into them or to the side of them. You can also try going to the local art supply store (Fake plants are WAY cheaper then pet stores) and get a strand or two of the fake vines. Just put those on the floor of the viv and she will hide under them too. It is all about giving them as many hiding places as possible to make them feel more comfortable. Also make sure your water bowl isn't on top of the substrate. If it is she can burrow under and it can be a major pain to find her.

Depends how big the hides are. If they are bigger than the snake, meaning when the snake goes into the hide it has too much room, it wont feel secure and try to find another spot where it feels secure.
