Very Active Male BP
I'm a new ball python owner, and I have had a male champagne ball hatchling for a few months so far. I fed a mouse to him three days ago (he will eat again tomorrow), and ever since he ate he has been wandering around his tank all day, just chilling out in the open.
I can't tell if he's sick, or stressed, or hungry, but he doesn't try to strike or hiss at my hand like he does if he's hungry and he has many hides he uses frequently and easily. He even just sits on his hides, specifically coming out of them to lay out.
The temperatures in his tank are 88-86 and sometimes switch to 90-86, with a humidity in the 60's. Is he just hungry?

My snake is super active at night for 30-60 minuets sometimes longer or shorter. She will go around and explore her tank and just chill out. I think that they just like to explore sometimes. I would began to worry if he was active more than 5 hours at a time, but sometimes they like to get out and stretch and get warmth if they have a light. He may just want to see what your up too! I wouldn't be too worried about it, good luck and take care!

Some snakes are more active than others y'know. Mine comes out at around 7-9 lays out, explores around for a bit, goes back in his hide at around dawn.
I was gonna say maybe he wants a girlfriend, but then I remember you said he's a hatchling :rofl:

If your husbandry is on point it may be hunger.
What does the snake weigh?
What size prey are you feeding?
How often are you feeding?
