    Lazy Noodle turned Speedy HULK.

    Hello everyone! I'm a new BP owner, and I've had Baby for about a month now, and for the most part, she's been a normal ball python. Sleep during the day, come out for maybe 15 minutes at night, then go back to her hide. She's kept in a 20 gall glass tank with a screen top and another piece of glass on top. The glass covers about 3/4 of the screen top. Heat is managed by a heat pad regulated by a thermostat, and a heat lamp up top. She has 2 half log hides, one on each end, and some vine so she feels comfortable traveling from one hide to the next. I have the 20 gall tank converted to a 10 gall for the time being with a strong piece of cardboard. With this set up, she's been very calm, and been eating her meals on time.

    Tuesday last week, she managed to knock the cardboard wall down while I was gone from work, and has been on the fritz since. Since then, I have books and blankets on the other side, so she hasn't been able to knock it down, but she's still trying. I'm growing more concerned because she'll start rubbing her nose against the screen as well. She also has started burrowing under her bedding, which is making her tank a hot mess. Her temps are about 80-85 on the cool end, and 90-92 on the hot end. Humidity is about 60-65 usually. Her normal feeding day is Monday, but because she's been so frisky, I was thinking she was hungry. I fed her yesterday, and she ate right away. That calmed her down for the night, but I come home from work again, and she's still doing her whole gymnastics routine...

    What is happening with my poor noodle???
