Temperature Gradient

I just recently got a new blood python, she is beautiful. However she tends to spend the entire day under her hide box on the cool side. There is a hide box on the warm side and when I put her over there she moves back to the cool side after a few minutes. Temps and humity are good. What should I do and should I be worried?

If after a couple days it continues, try lowering the warm side a few degrees. It may just be too warm for her. On the hand she may just be in the cool mood right now.

On the cool side it is 78-80 and on the warm side it is around 90.
