Hungry?

Thanks for your help starmom, and heather/thor/rooster - its always important to consider every possible issue, and I have not ruled out him being uncomfortable/insecure. I never thought I would be so worried about me snake NOT sleeping all day.

Have you considered other changes in his environment? It could be hundreds of things... maybe warmer weather means the A/C is on in your house and a breeze now blows across his enclosure. Maybe the different angle of the sun makes his enclosure brighter making him insecure, or darker, making him feel secure enough to explore during the day. Has he outgrown his hides and is looking for a new one? I could go on and on.

I would try to consider what might be causing the change in behavior. However, as long as it seems to be a casual exploring type of activity, as opposed to a more panicked level of activity, I don't think I'd worry about it that much. As long as he is eating and appears otherwise ok, a little exploring isn't going to hurt him.

The overall temperature in his tank (ambient) is higher now that the warm weather has arrived. This is one of the only changes I can think of, I don't have a/c but I have been racking my brain to think of any changes.
