Yeah, I think there may be something to it as far as local soil-consistency and types. My cousin has an eastern from North Carolina and it burrows quite a bit and he has loose soil for it. I have loose sandy soil for both of mine and yet they won't do more than go under flat rocks in their cages. They root around a bit when they are hunting for toads in their cages but they don't actively burrow all the way, just the first few inches of their body.

Not to mention my original comment on light-signaled mating was about snakes in general , everything from Amazon Tree Boas to semi-fossorials such as hognoses.
