Boa stays in the air on the cool side..

Hi I was wondering if my female bci ( 3 months old ) is acting normal. I have a climb spot
on the cool side of the cage, and she stays ontop almost 24/7. I haven't noticed any differences
in her behavior, feeding is great, very calm handling, etc. Sometimes the temperates on
the cool side reach as low as 65 degrees fahrenheit, and she continue to lay there. I have
checked the heat on the hot side and it is about 85 degrees fahrenheit which is heated by
and under tank heat pad, which i have personally held my hand on underneath the substrate
to see if the basking spot was a bit too warm, and I believe that it is not. It's warm but thats
about it, not near hot enough to my knowledge to cause any burns, etc. The only time she
is on the warm side is either after i have held her, or she was just fed. I assume retreating
to her hide spot on the warm side is instinct after eating, but about 15-20 minutes later there
she is ontop of the high spot again. Anyone have any idea if this is normal or something I
may be doing wrong?
