Python head underground

[ge_morgan]

Hey,
I got home tonight at around 11.30pm and noticed that my youngest coastal carpet python had his head under the substrate in the terrarium!

I use ground up walnut shells and goerge ( the python) had his head about a centimeter underneath it and was not moving. The only reason i could see his head is because he had it up against the glass under the substrate.

This is the wierdest thing I have ever seen any of my 3 pythons do and I was wondering if anyone could let me know what he is doing or if he is sick or anything??? After i took him out of it he seemed fine. I am puzzled.

Thanks in advance

maybe it was to bright for him - I have no idea but im sure someone has had a snake do it too.

it was at 11.30pm so the light was off. He came out of his cave when it went dark and then did it.
