Stress vs Hunger Roaming

So after reading a few posts on hear, I've heard that the two most common reasons for frequent roaming seem to be a hungry snake or a stressed out snake.

Seeing as how the two have very different solutions, how do you tell whether the snake is hungry or just stressed?

put a rodent in ?

hehe

Too true. A stressed out snake is less likely to eat at all.

well that's good to hear. I figured it was just hunger, but my snake has never given me any trouble eating. It's about 3 months old currently on weanling mice. Going to try to switch to rats sometime in the near future.

Just wanted to make sure, I wasnt forcing a stressed snake to eat and making things worse
