Getting a temperature gun is a great idea. You'll be able to tell better where her temps are.
Yes, it is normal for her to climb the sides of her tank. Snakes do this out of curiosity for the most part. Yes, it is normal for her to bury her head in the shavings. Sometimes snakes do silly things.
What's the best heat source? Different people have different methods. When I had a corn snake, I used an under tank heating pad on a thermostat. Others use ceramic heat emitters or heat lamps. It doesn't matter all that much so long as whatever you're using is giving the tank the heat gradient your snake needs. Using the temp gun will help you decide what might work best for you.
