Bella is nearly always under the substrate rather than in a hide. I think she just prefers it.

I think it just depends on the corn and what it prefers Holly. One thing that you, your sister and your cousin could do with doing is double checking temps in the viv....cos it may be that the snakes are hiding under the substrate to get cool/warm or something like that....or may be that their vivs are a bit bare and they feel safer hidden. All different reasons....but at the end of the day I think it is down to different snakes liking different things at different times.
