I have not seen my snakes burrow in their new tank at all and I use a good thickness of Carefresh. In their smaller individual tanks (5 g), they would do it once in a while, but I think it was more because they had so few places to hide in such a tiny tank. Actually, they currently spend much more time on a platform with no substrate at all.

I have found that the more hides that my snakes have the less they burrow. As time has gone by that I have had them, I have been adding things to their enclosures...more plants, logs, hides...and they use these more to hide under and burrow less. Also..Seeley and Cee Cee, my easterns, seemed to burrow all the time when I first got them...not so much anymore...so it may be a security thing...or something they were used to doing outside for protection and lack of hiding spots...something they don't feel the need to do so much anymore.
