My ball python is in a 10 gallon tank (she’s about 2 feet ling and then some), CHE lamp on top with foil tape covering the metal screen lid to keep humidity in. She’s recently started aggressively pushing her head against the metal screen lid. To the point she has a small mark on her nose. I luckily have some medicine that a vet gave me for a mild infection she’s recovering from (I verified with the vet that it was okay to use this medicine on her nose too).

I’m just not sure what I should do to get her to stop. I keep the humidity up and she has a hide. She did escape a few weeks ago so I’m assuming she got out by doing this, but I just wish she would stop so she would stop hurting her cute face!!!!
