| 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 |

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.

| 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! |

| Maybe he likes his cool hide better? Try swapping over the hot hide and cold hide and see if it makes a difference? |

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

| 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. |

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.
