I don’t care if you put a one foot snake in a twelve foot tank. Snakes always look for a way out. As they say, “ the grass is always greener on the other side”.
Good luck!

They do for a while but if it goes on and on it can be something serious like they’re trying to get somewhere cooler or something

He stopped doing it and I got a rat in him but he started doing it again. He has also started trying to push at the walls and the ground. My temps all seem right but my cool side might be a little low.

No, I use a temp gun. My hygrometer is that style but I've cross referenced it with a few others and it's accurate.

Well the fact he ate a day later and that food stopping him briefly indicates hunger. That well might have been an issue. long term hunger creates behaviour that takes a while to address.
Also too high temperatures cause faster food absorption and also make them try to get away from the heat.
Maybe give it some time with more food.
Also calibrate your heat gun to check its accurate.
Make crushed ice and boiling water.
The ice should be zero centigrade and the boiling water 100 centigrade. Convert to farenhight if that's what you use.
Honduran milk snakes in the wild can get under leaf litter when they need to which is cooler than the surroundings with the evaporation affect. Hence the shovel nose.
