Males more active?

That One Weird Girl
Ever since spring started, my 1 year-old male okeetee has been more active than usual, and I have a sense it's a poo-related problem, but are males more active in finding a female at the beginning of breeding season?

I'm still a beginner so I'm very worried.
 
Yes, this is typical behaviour for a male during the mating season. At a year old he's an early starter, but it isn't unknown. I doubt he'd have a poo-related problem for that long without other issues becoming apparent.

You could do a quick double-check of the temperature on the floor at the warm and cool sides, just to be on the safe side. Sometimes high temps make Corns over-active.
 
His temperature remains at a constant 80 during the day in his warm side.
Do males stay active all the time, with breaks in the process? That would explain it all.
 
It depends on the snake. Some are "on patrol" all their waking hours, some less so.
