    hes prolly just freakin out cuz the new setup then. different smells and feel and everything. a new substrate will change ur heat and humidity so make sure that ok first. u can leave him alone for a week and let him get used to it or if he doesnt settle in after a few days switch back. i went to newspaper and im about to build a rack n go to tubs.

    u really gotta get two digital thermometers with a probe and use those for the hot and cool side. wal-mart has an accu-rite for 12 bucks that is awesome. ur temps and humidity may be off adding to the stress. it sounds like ur snake is just stressed out. fix the husbandry!

    i have had him for over a year. and he has been perfect since i got him until i changed the substrate on him. the therm i have has a probe that goes down under his hot hide.

    what kind of thermostat are u using? do u know what temp u r keep ur snake at or r u guessing?? u had ur snake for a year n if ur snake has been hiding most of the time n just started goin crazy, i would say its the substrate u r now using

    try to feed him and see what happens. Balls get stressed so easily so it may be the substrate
