JCP stays on the cool side of the tank

[jobu84]

Hey guys,

Recent JCP owner and been wondering about my snake staying on the cool side all the time. Shes 9 1/2 months and when I moved her into the 30g she stayed in a middle hide for a while so the temp was around 82-84 depending on weather and though she wasnt very active (getting used to new enclosure) at least she wasn't on the far end of the tank. However, now that I got her to eat and shes been digesting her meal, she moved to the cool end which ranges between 75-79, and shes been over on that side since she ate. Correct me, please, if Im wrong but don't snakes usually go towards the heat after a meal? I mean it may not be right after but at least a day or 2 in? Also, I just decided to cover up part of her enclosure so she doesn't get stressed by me or my bf walking around throughout the day. Let me know guys. Thanks!

Edit: Also, the temp drops at night so it can get as low as 71-73.
