My hot end thermostat is set at 28. Like Georgina said there's not a lot you can do about the cool end!
My snakes sometimes hide in the cool end for several days then they might spend ages in the hot end. I guess it's just a snake thing.
I don't worry as long as they're eating, pooing and shedding ok.

Hot ideally 27-29. But 25-30 are the guidelines. And you can't do a great deal about the cool temps but I would recommend 22 or under.

Mine did this for the first few weeks I had it, then eventually it decided it liked the warm side just as much.

My hot end is at 25ºC and my cold end is around 20ºC, and Discordia is almos always in her cold hide, excepting when she's digesting her meals. So I figure your corn is looking for a colder spot! :) Hope it's helpful!

What are you using as a heat source?

My hot sides are 27-29C, the cold sides 15-19C depending how warm the room is. I would say, except after feeding, mine spend equal amounts of time between hot, cold and inbetween.

Your cold end temps are high 26 would normally be the lower temp in the hot side so your corn is trying to find somewhere cool
