very active snake

i noticed my corn is very, very active these last weeks. is it the spring? he constantly looks hungry and always trying to escape from his cage.

i was also wondering: is the cage too little for him.. here's a pic:

Could be. Is it a male? A year old or older??

I noticed the same thing with mine. He's the same ages as yours and im pretty sure he's male. He is moving around nonstop, even during the day. I've had to weigh the screen down because he's gotten so good at standing straight up that I'm worried it's a matter of days before he escapes!

I guess they're trying to find a mate. I kind of feel sorry for him, since he's exerting so much energy to find someone who doesn't exist it's kind of nice to be able to see him all the time. Mostly he's a big, sleepy bore!

Oh! And he refused a meal for the first time ever! I was quite shocked since he's usually a bit of a pig. I hope his hunger strike doesn't last long!

Annnd, sorry for the triple reply lol, but his viv doesn't look too small to me. I agree that it feels like they have very little space when they're moving around so much, but as long as your getting him out and providing him with opportunities to move and exercise, I dont think your viv is ill suited for his size.

Males become very active at this time of the year, even if there's no females around. They are looking for mates. Some will go off feed too.
