The material cited states it's to get away from crabs at low tide. Note, no food in the belly for the most part.
Small snakes hide a lot. They aren't near the top of a food chain so I don't think they'd be out and about all the time.
I used an analogy of human security in a way that a snake must feel secure. You should be able to understand it.
You mimicked an environment you thought to be correct. Your snake proved you wrong. Again, it's semi arboreal. If you would like here's a "wild" analogy. That snake has 1 acre of land to travel across with 1 tree on it. How much time do you expect it to be in the 1 tree as opposed to everything else?
In your home you've gone with the 1 tree as your answer. Your snake has proven you wrong, it's upto you to figure out what part is wrong. I've done my best.

Actually, in an earlier part of this thread I did say that the snake may not be getting warm enough because it doesn't go up to bask on a full stomach. Lady bug made that point and I agreed on it to be a possibility, which is why I took your advice along with others and gave it an actual terrestrial type setup.
All I am arguing is that I provided a proper thermal gradient. <-- Is that what you want to argue about still?
