PINSTRIPE JUVENILE ((Strange behaviour))

[TCampanaro]

My most recent BP, a juvenile pinstripe, was of course very shy and skiddish when I first brought her home a couple weeks ago.
Definitely not any more!
I've noticed that she is constantly moving about in her 6qt. tub. Whether looking for a way out or not.
When she does this, I tend to get her out and hold her, which strangely enough, calms her down.
I'll hold her for about 15 minutes.
Play on my laptop or video games with her, then put her back..Only to find her anxiously moving about again.
(NOTE: Has proper hide and water, paper towel substrate, heating/humidity in the fixing, usually stays about 83-85F without heat)
So, I get her out one more time, and it seems as if she's acting out to get her way of me picking her up?
I opened her lid, and she has soaked the entire bottom of her tub. Still not sure how, (I think she's doing it again as I type this out.)
Anyway, I of course grabbed up her tub, and her in wrapped around my hand to clean the tub out and put fresh paper towels down.
After fresh paper towels are laid, I set her in the tub with her hide and water, lid still off as I do the little bit of dishes I had in the sink.
She literally, stood up like a cobra and watched me do them.
I would reach to her to pet her, she didn't move, just calmly laid down again.
Every time I would move away she would stand up again to watch me. Then lay back down as I came near.
She seems so relaxed when she's out with me.
For her being as young as she is.. I don't know a whole lot about BP behavior yet, so I'm not entirely sure what all of this means; good or bad.
All I know is it reminds me of having a puppy... a scaley puppy.. who learns to love you...and wants to follow...you.
She just seems to have so much character, and a personality.
And honestly I never thought for a snake to be able to have one like she does.
My first BP does, but it's not like this.
I'm hoping it's something special, or I could just be weird..

Anyways, sorry long story! I'm just completely dumbfounded for a BP to act this way, especially so young and new!
Any feedback/opinions are appreciated!

is 83-85F your ambient temp or hot spot temp? what's her heatsource. she might be cold and just want u to pick her up b/c u are a warm mammal she can snuggle with. or she might just be funny like that. BP's are fickle like that.

anyway cute scaley puppy u got there.

83 is about bottom end for ambient temp only so there could be truth in what Ax is telling you. I don't know about the whole puppy thing, but try to observe the respiration on the animal. If you can really see it breathing a lot, it is just appearing to be calm but is really scared out of its mind. If it is not breathing hard and the body is not stiff, it is probably "enjoying" being out for whatever reason. I have a big lesser girl that has acted in a similar fashion ever since I got her. She is not restless in her tub but when I enter the room she always comes to the front of the tub (probably looking for food). The neat thing is that when I crack open the tub she will come out, go up arm and around my neck and she will remain there until I get tired of carrying her heavy butt around. I have others that seem to enjoy being out but she is the only one that seems to be eager to be "friends".
